Guys I am a new user to Linux (windoze can take a hike) have an older system with a D Link NIC and I am running Red Hat Fedora Core 4 which I got from the DVD that came with Red Hate Fedora and Enterprise Linux 4 Bible which I did a full install from, so everything is installed. I have satellite internet and a Linksys WRT54G router which I have plugged into the system. I am using KDE as my desktop and the system can't get onto the internet. I installed the NIC and its all there, when I attempt to activate it in Network Configuration I get an error that says "Determining IP information for eth0...dhclient(1543) is already running -exiting. exiting. failed." and thats the end of it, now I whipped out the book and started reading the network troubleshooting section and it mentions that if the the dhcp server is running it wont work very nicely with a dhcp router? I'm fairly new to networking, but I understand the basics really well, can anyone help me out? from what I can tell from the system the dhcp server isn't running and doesnt start with boot, which it shouldent from a fresh install right? any help is appreciated.
