Networking

[Tom Achtenberg]

I have a simple 5 machine NT network with one hub.  I am hooked up to
Qwest's VDSL service which supplies the IP addresses so there is a gateway
there but I cannot configure it.  My Win 98 and Win 2K machines have no
problem.  I just completed a RH 7.0 workstation install and want that
machine on the network and to access the web.  I have not been able to get
any documentation as to how to do this.

Where is it looking for the DHCP server? If it is only looking at your
internal network and not at the Qwest network, then it will probably not
find the DHCP server, if you don't have one installed. Tell us a little
more about the structure of the network, how many machines, routers etc.
