[newbie] ethernet problems!

[John Ehrhart]

I sent this to expert last time, not sure if it got out or not.....   I cannot get my 3c509B working in mandrake.  I setup Dhcp in linuxconf like I used to do but to no avail.  Here are some printouts that may be helpful.    [root@localhost /root]# dhclient Internet Software Consortium DHCP Client V3.0b1pl12 Copyright 1995, 1996, 1997, 1998, 1999 The Internet Software Consortium.
