    Sounds like the NIC kernel module isn't loading what kind of NIC is it?

    Subject: Ethernet & DHCP Fails on Cable Modem to Internet

    I am trying to setup an x86 box running red hat linux
    8.0 to reach the internet using a cable modem. I used
    the Network Configuration tool to configure eth0 to
    automatically obtain IP address settings with DHCP and
    automatically obtain DNS information from the ISP.
    When I try to activate eth0 using the Network
    Configuration tool it fails with the message: Cannot
    activate network device eth0.

    I can reach the internet using the same cable modem at
    the same location on a different machine running red
    hat 6.2 with eth0 configured for dhcp.

    Can some one please tell me how to configure dhcp on
    RH 8.0 to work with the cable modem?

    Thanks in advance.

    Ken
