Run "neat" to add the network interface.  You do not need to add a netmask or gateway, DHCP will pull all of that autmatically.  This is all assuming of course that you have the DHCPCD (or pump) package installed.   Shaun -----Original Message----- From: Archie [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Tuesday, July 16, 2002 11:03 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: connecting to the internet with a realtek rtl8139c-001 I have redhat 7.3, an i am trying to get onto the internet, i have contacted my ISP and they have assured me that have got to use DHCP and not static.
