RedHat 8.0 and Cox as Internet Provider

\_ SMTP quoth George Gambill on 5/14/2003 17:03 as having spake thusly:
\_
\_ Loaded RH 8.0 on a friends (boss's son) machine. Used KDE instead of the
\_ default GNOME. Linux is the only OS. The friend (Rob) took the machine
\_ home and is unable to connect to his internet provider, COX. Haven't talked
\_ to Rob, only his father.
\_
\_ Does anyone have suggestions as to where to start looking before I call him?

Set it up for dhcp, not static?
