Sometimes the DCHP server does not work well with Linux, edit (as root)
your /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0 (or whichever is your
ethernet really is) and provide the gateway information. It might be a
good idea to configure the card to a static TCP/IP address in the range of
your network. See the example below;
# Realtek|RTL-8139/8139C/8139C+
DEVICE=eth0
BOOTPROTO=none
ONBOOT=no
TYPE=Ethernet
NETMASK=255.255.255.0
IPADDR=192.168.1.10
USERCTL=yes
PEERDNS=yes
GATEWAY=192.168.1.1
IPV6INIT=no
