Mike,
I noticed you said you were running linuxconf - which RH version
are you using? I though linuxconf had been retired from recent
systems - I didn't get it on a recent clean 7.3 installation
but it was left in place after a 6.2 to 7.3 upgrade.
there's been lots of useful info so far in other replies,
which should get you started. Since you have two eth cards
you might end up running a system like mine - where the
internet gateway linux box serves several Linux and ms-Windows
machines. So I'll expand on this.
I run a dhcp client (dhcpcd) on eth1 to get the setup from my ISP,
but I also run a dhcp server on eth0 (internal)
to give the other local
machines info about gateway, DNS, etc.
But you have to stop the server running on eth1 as well, so to do that
you need to have a line
DHCPDARGS="eth0"
in the file /etc/sysconfig/dhcp.
