Matt, when I want to configure most things in RedHat I use the control-
panel in X. I'am not sure if all networking parms can be set up by this
but it might be a start. Also you can use the package manager to see if
all your networking packages are installed. Have your CD mounted and
select the available button and see if what you need is there. If you
did not select networking when you installed you might need to add
packages first.
Good Luck,
