    Click on your Red Hat start icon and select "System Settings" and then
    "Network." (You'll need your root password.) This is where you can
    configure your computer to obtain a DHCP IP address from your router (or
    assign an appropriate static IP address), tell your PC which gateway to
    use and the other odds and ends needed to access the internet through your
    router.

    I am assuming FC3 correctly identified and installed your network card
    when you installed the operating system.
