I have several PCs with dual boot system. When I am using the Windows OS I can get coonected to the LAN easily with DHCP. But when I am using Linux (Fedora - core 1) from the same PC, I do not get the ip address from DHCP server. Using static IP address also do not help

Is the ethernet card correctly configured?

What is the output of ifconfig?

You probably just have to "modprobe modulename" the correct module for the Ethernet card. Have a look at "less /proc/pci" or "lspci" for a clue on what kind of Ethernet card it is, then do a search to find the appropriate module (www.google.com/linux).
