I struggled with getting my eth0 configured in Red Hat Linux 5.1 for about 2 weeks. After trying the NIC card in my PC I found it was a faulty nic card. Then I got another card (Lyncsys LNE2000T NE2000 compatible) and ran linuxconf and the network configuration part to set up nic card and it still didn't work. Then I discovered that you have to disable plug and play, which I did by running the setup program for the card in DOS. Then I booted back to Linux and the card was detected. After that I ran ifconfig eth0 [hostname or ip] to assign the nic card an IP (if you use a hosts name make sure you have that hosts associated to an IP in /etc/hosts (you probably knew that :)). A bit of a hack from a newbie but it worked for me. Now it works like a charm. Read the ethernetHOWTO to see if your nic card is compatible with Linux. Good luck. Samba is my next project to set up - anything I should know before I start.
