I've got an old PC running RH6.2 that I am trying to link into my existing Win network.
Currently, I have 2 windows boxes connected via a LinkSys router to my cable modem connection, so the router should be providing IPs via DHCP.
I bought a NetGear modem, and it has a compiled module for it for RH6(fa31x.o). I copied this file manually into /lib/modules/2.2.14-5.0/net. Then, I installed the module using 'insmod fa31x'. Then, I ran netcfg, and configured eth0 to use DHCP. So far, things look ok: ifconfig eth0 returns information, so it looks like the card is configured ok.
Trying to bring up eth0 results in the following message:
Determining IP information for eth0...Operation failed.
failed.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. I've looked at the How-to's and haven't had a whole lot of luck.
