[newbie] LinkSys Cable Router & Linux MAndrake 7.1

[webmaster]

Hi:

 I was wondering if my LinkSys cable router will DHCP an ip to my Linux b0x.
 I have a working nic card, and my other machine[98] connects with no
problems.

 If I set my netconfig to DHCP, and netdevice eth0 and irq: 5 , would that
accept the dhcp.

 I love linux, but hate to config it ;)

 Would love some response....thnx guyzN`galz
