I just got my onboard nvidia NIC to be recognized by my system after going the tarballs route. However on bootup and when using the Network options through system settings on RH9, I can't seem to activate the connection. It says "determing IP info" but then it fails.
My Hosts tab just contains the usual 127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain, and I don't think this tab will affect anything. However on the DNS tab, is it necessary to put in a hostname and Pri,2nd? I don't think I had to do this on RH8.
Anyone have any ideas on what might get the NIC up and running? I'm using a cable modem by the way and it works fine with this older win98 system.
