Well, supposedly (if netconfig did things right) for
dhcp you'd be running dhcpcd from there (if you
didn't modify slacks default /etc/rc.d/rc.inet1).

I am just looking for possible causes, a defunct
daemon would be one of them :}


Cheers,

ok. Will do, as soon as I get home. I haven't installed or ran any daemon's, so that could be the problem too. I don't want to run any servers, just connect, do I need a daemon running? If so...how do I go about that? I work until 1AM CST, so, it'll be awhile before I those outputs for you.
Check to see if these pkgs are inatalled: 'dhcp' and 'dhcpcd'.............They can be found in the '/slackware/n/' directory on the installation cd. :)

Alright. How do I check to see what packages are installed? I know how to check modules, but not packages........

You can run 'pkgtool' from a terminal window (need to be root). This is a curses app. From the menu highlight 'View' and <Enter> and it will generate a list of packages installed. Use the up/down arrows to scroll through the list. :)
