You didn't mention if you had checked the list archives yet: http://www.prairienet.org/redhat I searched for Netgear tulip module and got a good number of messages, including a couple of threads that talk about Netgear installation problems. It was mentioned that there may be 2 or even 3 different chip sets that have been used and the correct module for the chipset you have must be used. However, you might assume that the disk that came with the floppy would have the correct version. It was also mentioned that a few people simply tried the card in a different slot and it worked. Do you get any error messages in /var/log/messages that might pertain to eth0 or the tulip module loading? Is it possible that you are experiencing IRQ conflicts? HTH, for starters. -- *************************************************** .~.
