It's RH 5.2.

I've also decided to delete NT and install Win 98 on the other pc.  Hope it (networking) works.  I'm starting to hate Microsuck more and more now...

1. If you run "ifconfig", does it report the correct IP
address/netmask/broadcast set for eth0?

It's reporting (excerpts):

inet addr:23.7.19.63  Bcast:23.255.255.255  Mask:255.0.0.0
Interrupt:10  Base address:0x300

and I can ping to the localhost as well without problems.

3. What does /proc/interrupts say about IRQ 3, 4 and whatever one the NIC is
on? To check this, enter (as root):
"cd /proc"
"more interrupts"
on a console or in an xterm.

3:   13927 + serial
10: 20 3c509   (the nic card)

4. What does the command "route -n" report about the routing table? If you
can, run this when you have the dial-up connection active.

Destination         Gateway        Genmask        Flags    Metric    Ref    Use         Iface

23.0.0.0       0.0.0.0    255.0.0.0   U       0      0    3      eth0
