[newbie] More network questions

[Martin Solms]

I just can't get the network card to work on my Toshiba Tecra 8000 - the
following error appears whilst booting:

Bring up Interface Eth0 - Delaying Eth0 initilization        -Failed

Any suggestions?

I have told it to use DHCP / BOOTP via the Gnome network GUI but nothing
seems to happen.  I have also run netconf / linuxconf

Thanks

Martin
