I made sure that the ethernet card does get recognized at boot time and I now
understand that eth0 is an interface and not a device so there won't be such a thing
as /dev/eth0. I typed "ifconfig eth0 up" and got no error messages. I typed
"ifconfig eth0" and it gave me a lot of information about the interface, but of course
no IP is assigned to it. I'm wondering if maybe it is using the wrong broadcast
address for a DHCP request to a WinNT DHCP server. Also, would a firewall cause the
problem? I've configured the kernel to support firewalls, but I've never configured a
firewall as I haven't learned about it yet.
Here is what I've done to try to get DHCP to work...
dhcpcd -h staats eth0
dhcpcd -h staats -r eth0
pump -i eth0 -h staats
But in all cases, it timed out waiting for a response from a DHCP server.
I appreciate all your ideas and suggestions.
