I normally don't ask for help, but there comes a point when you have to ask
for directions......!

I'm a Linux newbie and am trying to get connected through my cable modem and
to my home LAN.  I have 3 computers; all previously running either Win 98 or
Win 95.  They're connected through a hub and internet access through the
uplink was fine.  I installed Mandrake 7.1 on one of the machines and need
help configuring the network settings / card.  I've been reading the
newsgroups and searching the web for several days and just can't seem to get
it right.  Ideally, I'd love to get a blow by blow description of how to
configure it from DrakConf for ExpressNet service in Las Vegas (dynamic IP
w/ DHCP)

I "think" the network card is configured right - I get an "ok" as the
machine boots.  It is a Networkeverywhere NC 100 which Linux detected as a
Macronix MX987x5.  Net device is set to eth0; tulip is the Kernel module.

I've gone through the various network configuration settings in DrakConf
(Client Tasks tab of Network Confiigurator; Basic Host Information, Name
server specification (DNS), Routing and gateways, etc) and have tried to
mimick the settings in Win 98 & data from winipcfg.  When I reboot, I get a
message something like "Bringing up eth0; can't find DHCP client".

Any & all help is appreciated!
