Janette, It sounds like a video problem, not a NIC problem. From the list of packages that you downloaded I don't see a X server. Try starting your client in RUNLEVEL = 3 then manually running startws. See what X errors pop up on the screen.
BTW - the client will not boot from a kernel that works on your server... unless you have a VERY weird server! :-) Pete -- http://www.elbnet.com ELB Internet Service, Inc.
