Yup, that did the trick! Thanks for your help. When I ran linuxconf from the
command line with the version from RHL5.1 (1.11) it was just text-based and a
bit tough to use from an xterm (since I have Fx keys bound through X and the
window manager). However, I now have the gnome-linuxconf interface. Much
easier!
While I'm not always a big fan of GUI's, it is easier sometimes to get started
with them. On the other hand, if there were a reference in the manual
somewhere to a config file which would have enabled the network access, that
would have made me equally happy! :)
Thank for all the help!

No, my friend, the way to have good and safe government, is not to trust it
all to one, but to divide it among the many, distributing to every one exactly
the functions he is competent to. It is by dividing and subdividing these
republics from the national one down through all its subordinations, until it
ends in the administration of every man's farm by himself; by placing under
every one what his own eye may superintend, that all will be done for the
best.
