Obviously you haven't set EVERYTHING up as you had it before.

Since you didn't provide any error messages, things you've tried, or
things that are hanging you up, it's a bit difficult to troubleshoot
from here.

How about trying out those spiffy docs in /usr/doc/HOWTO and seeing if
you can figure out the problem?

Are there errors in /var/log/messages?  Have you enabled the debug mode to
see where the errors are occurring?  Are the username and password correct? 
Have you verified that the login sequence is correct?  Have you tried using
the Internet as root?  What happens?  What happens as a normal user?  Do IP 
addresses work? do textual names work?

I told you in the first message that we're going to need more than these
haphazard sentence fragments to go on in helping you out.  You disregard
that advice again in this message.  This is your last chance as far as I'm
concerned.  Post a concise, detailed message about your problems.  State the
things you've checked, what the error messages are, or what functionality is
not working.  "doesn't work" is NOT a detailed description of the problem.
