I have a Linksys router WRT54GR version 1.1. I have installed the latest
firmware version 1.03.
I have a wired connection to a PC. The PC is dual boot. When I run
Windows 98SE everthing is working fine. When I boot RetHat 9 I can't get
an internet connection. I get the error message:

"Determining IP information for eth0 ... failed.

With other routers (Sitecom broadband router, Thomson speedtouch
router/modem) I had no problems at all when connected to the same PC
running Linux using auto-dhcp.

Is the dhcp server/service configured on your Linksys router?

Does somebody know how I can get my connection working? Why doesn't
auto-dhcp work with this router with Linux?

Please try assigning a suitable fixed IP, netmask and gateway addresses
manually; check if that works for you.
