Hello Listees, With a little help from Peter, I got it working. For the benefit of other people who have not set up a loadable kernel module for networking, here's the steps I took for my 3Com card:
1. added "alias eth0 3c59x" to /etc/modules.conf 2. ran the command "insmod 3c59x" 3. used netconfig to setup the IP address 4. changed the HOSTNAME value in /etc/sysconfig/network to my computer name (host.mydomain.com) 5. cd /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts 6. ran "ifup eth0" 7. ping -c 4 www.yahoo.com Hope this helps someone else. Thanks again Peter for restoring my sanity!

Under 7.0 it uses the 3c59x driver > so it is probably using 3com components. Can you manually set it up with the 3c59x (Vortex/Boomerang) driver? That's what worked for me on an OptiPlex GX1.
