Setting up a dchp IP address is a lot simpler than it sounds. RedHat 7.0 has
linuxconfig built in, so type linuxconf at the command line and select dhcp
(don't use any IP or netmask for this card), specify your nic card, and any
irq info you may have. If your using Gnome or KDE, you'll get a gui for this
which is simpler to use because you get drop down windows. Make sure you
know what the IP of your modem or dhcp server is and use it as your default
gateway. Add some DNS servers and reboot. Your now up and running!
