I'd appreciate some help.  I'm a newbie's newbie that can't seem to get past the eth0 problem listed above.

I've installed redhat 5.2 in server config onto an intel p/100 with 32 meg RAM.
I hope to connect this to a Win98 client and a WinNT client using SAMBA.  Once that is completed, then I will try to use Linux as an internet proxy server for the two clients.

the NIC is an Intel Ethernet Express

ifconfig eth0 yields

Also, I think I've seen some errors like "SIOCADDRT  invalid argument" during the boot process but I haven't found that log yet, assuming that there is one.

If more information is needed, I'll be happy to provide.  Just tell me how to get it :-)

TIA,
