[ale] Can't obtain IP address for Linux Box

[aeswx at uga.edu (Alan Stewart)]

Hi,

I tried to install Realplayer10Gold on my Linux box last 
evening.  The install did not work, for whatever reason, and 
I had to reboot/reset the machine.  Well, when it came back 
up, my Linksys router (WRT55AG) did not see the machine.  
The network config panel showed the eth0 as inactive, and I 
could not activate it.  I tried deleting the card and 
starting over by adding it again anew  I've tried resetting 
the modem and router, tried rebooting the linux box and 
still no cigar (all in various and sundry combinations).  
The odd thing is that even when I boot into XP (this is a 
dual-boot machine), the connection wizard reports that it 
can't obtain an IP address.  Both fedora and XP indicate the 
ethernet card status is OK, but something is amiss.  Any 
ideas?

Thanks,...Alan
