I have set up my NIC in Red Hat 7.0. That works fine. I am at a point where
I can type the following and I get access:

/sbin/dhcpcd -d -I coXXXXXX-a eth0

Where coXXXXXXX-a is my login ID.  That all works fine. Where I have the
problem is on bootup. During the boot though linux has a look at eth0 and
then after about 30 seconds it comes up as failed. So it doesn't connect to
the net at that point. In past linux set ups some how I managed to get it to
connect at that point. Suggestions?

As a temporary work around I just added the line above (/sbin/dhcpcd -d -I
coXXXXXX-a eth0) to the end of rc.d and that seems to do the trick for now.
I would prefer to have it set so that during boot when eht0 is checked it
can connect then. Doing it that way would also reduce boot times a fair
bit!!!
