I'm using RH 7.2 on my machine with dhcpcd and it works fine. When the installer came by, I had him do all the installation on a Windows 2000 box, then after he left, I moved the card over to the linux one. The cable connection didn't seem to agree with the nic that was already in the linux machine, so I'm assuming it ties the account to the MAC address. Running dhcpcd with the -d option, as well as tail -f /var/log/messages in the background _should_ show you what's going on. I'm not clear from your original post, do "windows side" and "linux side" refer to the same machine dual-booting, or different boxes? If they're different, I'd definitely swap their nics.
