Could you post a little more info?
- model of ethernet card
- module (driver) it is using.
- run ifconfig and post the output
- is your DHCP client running?

Your motherboard may have IR Interface capability but are you actually connecting something with Infra Red. If not remove the irlan it will not work.
i am connecting to my LAN(NT-domain) through the built in modem.
Are you trying to do dialup networking with NT RAS or do you want to connect on a LAN using eth0?

What I think you need to do is setup the dhcpcd for eth0 which is your network card.
Connect it to your lan.
Then use your modem for dialing up on the telephone to somewhere.
NT should have no problem giving an ip address to your linux box.

The delayed message you get from eth0 is normal it even says failed .
This is normal because the pcmcia adapter in your case xircom is not loaded at that time so no device no eth0
But when the xircom pcmcia adapter is installed the eth0 interface is working
You can check this with the command ifconfig
I have a xircom card to and it works great
When you boot at first time KUDZU ask 2 questions about the card answer here KEEP CONFIGURATION .
Good luck

Maybe telnet is not set to be used yet
goto
/etc/xinitd.d/
edit the file
/etc/xinitd.d/telnet
change the line that state
Disabled yes
to
Disabled no
Then telnet is working same goes for ftp
I gues it is the file wdftpd but i am not sure...
For the ping thing i don't know either.
Maybe edit the lmhosts file or the hosts file but i am not sure
The lmhosts file connects netbios names to ipadresses
But again i am not sure
Good luck

I think that the server install installs telnet and ftp deamons and that an ordinary laptop or workstation install does not install the telnet and ftp deamons.
I gues that this is the problem.
How you can install those deamons is a question for me to
I am still a  if it comes to install packages.
So we need help

Put in the cds one at a time and run gnorpm to see what is not installed.
normally I just install everything from the start.
this is what I ended up with
all of them are disabled by default
ls /etc/xinetd.d
amanda daytime finger klogin rexec telnet
amandaidx daytime-udp gssftp krb5-telnet rlogin tftp
amidxtape dbskkd-cdb imap kshell rsh time
chargen echo imaps linuxconf-web rsync time-udp
chargen-udp echo-udp ipop2 ntalk swat wu-ftpd
comsat eklogin ipop3 pop3s talk
