More on my problem.
I have just installed MDK 7.1 (sorry I didn't mention this initially)
This is what I have done.
Basic Host Information
Host name + domain = linux.myNTserverdomain name
Adaptor1 = enabled DHCP, net device = dummy0, kernel module = 3c574-TX,
Irq=10, all other fields blank
Name server specifications (DNS)
DNS is required for normal operation (selected)
default domain = 10.0.0.1
IP of name server 1 = same DNS address that I use in my other boxes
IP of name server 2 = same DNS address that I use in my other boxes
IP of name server 3 = same DNS address that I use in my other boxes
all other fields blank
Routing and gateways
Set defaults = enable routing(selected) and Default gateway =
10.0.0.1
I have not done anything with the other NETCONF options
I then exit out of that and it brings up the "status of the system" box and
under "preview what has to be done" it tells me to execute
/etc/rc.d/rc5.d/S10network reload...and when I do that it come back with the
error "Bringing up the device dummy0 Can't find a dhcp client"
I should also note that today when I start the system under linux I no
longer get the dongle or hub lights like I get under Windows98.
Suggestions????
Thanks...Jim

for PCMCIA on laptop
Jim,
I noticed you have a Cisco 675 on dsl. I am using
Verizon for dsl access (bronze package) I just recently bought a Cisco 675.
I'm have some of the same issues with Redhat and my laptop (a generic from
maxstation) wich has a 3com 3c574tx PCMCIA nic. Redhat 6.2 will init the card
services and notice there is a 56k modem and the nick below it. However, There
is no kernel module for this card.
I just recently got my other big redhat system up
on the net using my previous router (external Fujitsu SpeedPort) Unlike the
Cisco, you cannot telnet into this router. it's all done automatically
internally. Verizon just changed it's domain (previously dsl.gtei.net. Now
it's dsl.vz.genuity.com with a new DHCP server address.
Here is the way my redhat system is setup this is
in 6.2. I used Xwindows from the control panel to get this info: (I hope this
helps a little)

Subject: [newbie] Networking setup for
PCMCIA on laptop
Hello,
I have a Compaq Presario 1230 laptop with a PCMCIA card and am trying
to set it up to have TCP/IP network access through my DSL service. I
am connecting to a hub that is connected to a Cisco 675 external
router.
I have been using the NETCONF utility and have entered the LAN address
of the router as 10.0.0.1 and then set up DNS addresses with my ISP. I
get lights on the dongle and the hub but no action. I am not sure
how to get the system to recognize the Ethernet access through the PCMCIA
card. In the Basic Host information setup I used the "dummy0" option
as was recommended in the Help for the adaptor. I am not sure what to
put as the "Host.Domain" entry. I have an NT server on the network and
at some point want to get the Linux to see the server but the first goal is
to basic network connectivity. In the adaptor setup I also
enabled DHCP so the 675 would give me a NAT address. I would
appreciate some help knowing what I am missing or have set up
incorrectly. Do I need to know more about the PCMCIA card and
configure that somewhere? Any and all suggestions would be
appreciated.
Thanks...Jim
