Albert,
I had the same problem, but I can only tell you what to do as far as a
real linux install. But it may remain the same for the fat version.
Under linuxconf in the network section. Set it for dhcp set your
hostname, alias, and put in your IP address, make sure that the
24.1x.2x.xx 1x and 2x are uniform with any other box on that roadrunner
network. Then make sure you have the right kernel module installed. And
save you settings and exit, it should reload the network, and you should
be good to go.
