My redhat 6.0 linux box works fine with RoadRunner in Fairfax. :)

The default pump in redhat 6.0 works fine. I don't why why they didn't
just use dhcp though.

Two sugguestions. Are you *really* sure linux is using your ethernet
card correctly? Make sure t here are no IRQ conflicts.

Second, check the netmask and address that the dhcp server gives you,
I found that I was getting a netmask handed to me that was illegal,
but win98 would work fine. When I reported this misconfigure mgfairfax
had it fixed within a day.
