Network Card in Linux [PLEASE HELP ME]

When you were in the setup phase for Redhat, did it not setup your network card then? or did it complain about anything? Usually during the setup phase it will detect all that stuff for you so after installation you should be pretty much ready to go. (That is if you entered all your network information as well during setup)

I have the exact same network card by the way Well in one of my computers here.

When you chose to setup Redhat at the begining, what type of installation did you choose? Like workstation? or server? or custom?

Also as I recall whenever I setup redhat, it always asks for information about setting up the network. Maybe you should try setting up the server again just in case you missed it.

If your server does recognize the modem you could probably just configure the network. Do this to see if its recognizing the modem. Watch exactly what happens when you boot up the system and see if you see any information ever displayed on the screen about the modem. If you do see information it is likely that it is recognizing your modem, you might just not have your network setup.

Finally are you using the graphical interface or the console interface for Redhat? I am guessing the graphical one since you said you want to use it like you used XP before.

How did you have the driver already installed if you were just setting up Redhat? Or did you mean you manually set it up after you installed Redhat? Anyway when you boot your system you do see the modem being recognized?

Okay try this... open up a console in redhat (if you don't know how let me know) and then obtain root user and type in this command

/sbin/ifconfig

Once you type that paste the contents here that it outputs.

That is exactly how it said it? I would think it would at least give something back. What are the exact words it said?

Okay type this now in your console:

pwd

and tell me your results.

How are you running your console? I have a feeling you aren't in a console. Please tell me the exact spot you are entering this command and how you get there so I can help you. Thanks.
