    I typed 'ping www.wired.com' and got .."ping: www.wired.com: Host name
    lookup failure"

    Now my question is, is it possible that the "natsemi-scyld' module that
    I loaded was a close match to the suggested 'natsemi', but not exactly
    right, considering that DCHP didn't work? I have checked the DHCP server
    several times and there are no worries there. I have 2 addresses
    available to be served.

    I am now at a shell, what should I try next? I also have another Network
    card if I need to switch (a CNet PowerNIC C200/600/650Eplus PnP ISA card
    from an even older machine). It seems that the NetGear FA311 10/100 PCI
    should be more supported.

    Thanks for everyones help. If not for you all, I would still be
    partitioning hard drives !!!
