This sounds like it could be the problem with the dhclient package on the
EigerStein2Beta disk. Try replacing the dhclient.lrp package on the floppy
with the latest one from my site. Also, some folks have reported things are
fixed if they re-start the dhclient package after boot by running:
svi dhclient restart
If this command fixes your problem, you definately need to upgrade to the
new dhclient package.
If you're still not connected to the 'net, you have something else wrong
(maybe your ISP assigning you a private IP). In this case, you'll need to
provide more details for us to help you. See the support page on my site,
and the How-to-ask-for-help HOWTO.
