Anyhow, not you know the card is there. Next thing is to setup the
networking. In a shell as root type netconfig. Select dhcp and ok.

As root, I type the command<br>

</font>It brings up a character screen from which I select DHCP.
Everything goes smoothly.<br><br>
<blockquote type=cite class=cite cite>Now still as root type the command
"service network restart". If you see a failed message while
it's stopping the service don't worry. It's probably moaning because the
service wasn't started in the first place. Notice that stop|start|restart
goes after the service name. So service is the name of the command, next
parameter is the service name, next parameter is start|stop|restart.
After doing this you should be up and running. Let me know if you
get anymore problems.</blockquote><br>
When I issue the command:<br>
<font face="Courier New, Courier">service network restart<br>
</font>I get the following:<br><br>
<font face="Courier New, Courier">Shutting down loopback

</font>There is quite a long pause (maybe 30 seconds) between the message
"<font face="Courier New, Courier">Bringing up eth0:</font>"
and the rest of the message. This is also the message I get
whenever I boot up.<br><br>

I typed this and I think it found my network card. The results are as
follows:<br><br>
etho Link ncap: Ethernet HWaddr 00:E0:18:E3:F1:28<br>
BROADCAST MUULTICAST MTU:1500

Vase Address: 0x880<br><br>
I typed this command but got the following response<br>
start: unrecognized service<br><br>
