[newbie] Configuration of a network adaptor

[siham benabbou]

Hi all,
I have trouble configuring my network board under
mandrake7.0.  Here are the steps I followed:
1.  I ran netconf and gave it the information needed
regarding hostname, the request for DHCP, and DNS
address.
2.  I did "ifconfig eth0 up" in order to configure the
the interface eth0. But this gives me a message that
the device is busy.
3.  I ping with 127.0.0.1 and it seems to work.
4.  I run the "dhcpd " and it gives me a message:
dhcpd.conf not found.

Could any one help me by telling me whether these
steps are ok or not and if not what should I do?

Thanx
siham
