I ran drakconnect from the command line, and it started the GUI and
proceeded in the same way as if I had started it from the "K" button.
With the added advantage [I thought] that if there were error messages
I'd be able to catch them and paste them here for the list to see. I
remember doing something like that when I was trying to get Xine working
[again, with the help of this list] :)
Was it not a good idea?
Should I do it again from the GUI?
[actually, I'm waiting on clarification from earlier answers about
changing it to a static address, and how to know what to set it to.]

here's the contents of that file:
DEVICE=eth0
BOOTPROTO=dhcp
NETMASK=255.255.255.0
ONBOOT=yes

Thanks again for your help:)
