I have RH 6.1 and a 3c509b installed. I am not sure whether my NIC is
properly installed or not. I want to set up a network at home and when I do
ifconfig eth0 'myip', if gives me this message

SIOCSIFFLAGS: Resource temporarily unavailable

Is this mean my is not installed properly?

Secondly, I'm using freeserve (a free ISP. no static IP) as my ISP, what
should I put in my Gateway and Router address?

Thirdly, I've been reading the howto and some other documents in the
internet. Most of them show how to set the network manually (using ifconfig
and route etc. etc.). If I'm using the RH netcfg, do I have to do the
ifconfig again in a terminal or is it enough just to use the netcfg.
