[olug] Eth0 delaying (Fail) continued

[Tom]

Just another piece of info that might help.  I was just on the linux side
and noticed something with 2 terminal windows open.  In one window I did a
"service network restart" then in the second did ifconfig and the lo and
eth0 were there.  I kept doing it while I waited for window one to resolve
IP address and the received packets kept going up and the sent too by about
1/2 with no errors or collisions but then it still fails to get the address.
I may be wrong but doesn't it have to be that darn address ?  Thanks for
putting up with all the questions.  I am taking notes and some day may learn
this.

Tom
