Yes please help I'm in the exact same situation!!!!!! (same modem, ISP, but 7.2, not 7.1)

Thing is, I had it work with lnx4win, but then I deleted lnx4win and installed linux on seperate partition and i can't get it to work!

Hello:

Here's what you need to do, guys:

1. Determine type of NIC you have (ISA or PCI) and make, model #.

2.If ISA, you MUST configure the card with the DOS utility the manufacturer provides. You can get it from the card manufacturer's website if you don't have it. BTW...you must really be in DOS, not a DOS prompt in Win.

3. Install dhcpcd. This is not done by default on an MDK install, but is available on the MDK install CD#1 as an rpm.

4. As root, go to netconf; select networking, basic host info, adaptor 1. Enable dhcp, enter your primary name and domain, net device (eth0) and Kernel module (there is a list of NIC's here--select the one that corresponds to yours.. Now click accept, quit, then activate the changes.

If you've done all this correctly, you should be in business.

Good luck.
