I need help connecting my linux box to my cable
network.  

I picked up a used dell that has a ethernet card built
onto the motherboard.  I think Linux detects that it
is a 3com network device.  When I go to the Network
configuration, Under hardware linux shows "3com
3c590/3c595/3c90x/3cx98" for eth1.  

I checked the compatability listings @ redhat.com and
it's supposed to be compatible.  

I tried to change it to eth0 and got the following
error message, "The ethernet card could not be
initialized. Please verify your settings.  

When I installed linux 7.2 recently and after booting
the only thing that "Failed" was eth0.

I had win98 installed before installing linux it
worked ok.  

I also set up dhcp during the linux install.

I am a new user to linux and would appreciate any
feedback.  

Thanks in advance.
