Update: URGENT! Server can't access net anymore

[david at ne.mediaone.net (David Kramer)]

1) I have my server up in Winblows 95 right now, and I found a trial
version on a mail server that runs on it.  So I can again get email sent
to the list.  If you previously replied to the list, PLEASE RESEND.

2) I've been getting another message when trying dhcpcd -d eth0.
"no DHCPOFFER messages".  /usr/doc/dhcpcd*/README refers to this
message, but doesn't really explain it or suggest any fixes.

3) I haven't received a single reply, and I'm very surprised. I'm
desperate, man.  

Here is the original message in case anyone missed it
------------------------------------------------------------
I have the standard setup: 
MediaOne cablemodem <--> eth0]linux box[eth1 <--> intranet
ipfwadm rules based on rlz.ne.mediaone.net.  P133, DEC Tulip network
cards, 10baseT.  Red Hat 5.2, all updates.

All was well, until I had to swap out my motherboard today.  The IRQ's
changed, there was a conflict, I resolved it, and it's been a nightmare
ever since.

Let me start out by saying I'm currently running the box under Win95, and
I can connect to the cablemodem/dhcp works fine.

-When I boot in linux, dhcpcd fails.  ifconfig doesn't show eth0.
-If I ifconfig eth0 up, it comes up as 0.0.0.0
-If I dhcpcd -d eth0, it says "sendto(init): operation not permitted"
-Many internet commands give the same message, like ping. -route listed
eth1 as default and no eth0.  I deleted default
 and added eth0 as default.  Now most internet commands hang.

I'm going crazy about this because this box is, among other things, my
mailserver, so all my mail (a few hundred a day) is going to bounce, and
I'll get kicked off mailing lists.  Because of this, I'm pleading for
help.  If you want money for your help, then fine.  You can email me at
kramer at mediaone.net if you can offer some tips.  You can call my house at
781-894-9387 or my cellphone at 781-888-4994 if you're willing to help
interactively.
