o.k., I have counted to ten and feel much better now. Thanks David. I
believe eth0 is up bec. if I look in netcfg it says eth0 is running, and is
congired to do so at startup. Forgive my newbie question but I do not know
what ifconfig is. It is not a recognized command on my installation, and I
dont see a file.
PCMCIA Card Services seem to be doing what they are supposed to. I hear 2
beeps when the card is detected and/or inserted, one beep when removed and
like i said I do get internet access.
I just recieved this and it worked, pcmcia services were loading after eth0:
The problem is most likely that pcmcia services is loading after the eth0
interface. I had the same problem, change the line in your
file:/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0 that says onboot=yes to
onboot=no...This solved my problem and was a topic on this list a while ago.
THANK YOU ALL FOR YOUR HELP!!! Oh, sorry for shouting again David :)

Calm down, please. One question mark will do just fine, and you
needn't shout. I feel your pain. In fact, this was one of the first
Linux problems I ever encountered, and I still fail to understand why
networking is configured to start before pcmcia, since a machine that
uses pcmcia probably depends on such a device for its networking.
After you log in, have you checked to see if eth0 is indeed up
('ifconfig')? The pcmcia scripts are supposed to do that for you
after they come up. Sometimes they do, sometimes they don't. If so,
you have nothing to fret about; it's working the way it's designed to,
though it does seem silly.
If it _doesn't_ come up on its own, then you need to change the order
in which services are started.
To avoid upsetting chkconfig, do this as root:
# chkconfig --del pcmcia
Then edit /etc/init.d/pcmcia, and change the "chkconfig" line to this:
# chkconfig: 2345 05 96
Now do:
# chkconfig pcmcia on
And all will be well.

Perhaps related if your networking hasn't been starting reliably ...
try 'net use z: \\computer\sharename' from a DOS prompt _after_ you're
sure networking is up, and that smb/nmb are running.
Good luck -d
