FC5 dhcp client?

[hoser_9]

Hi Guys,
I am trying to install FC5 on an emachines T6216 and I cannot get the darn thing to get an IP address through DHCP, but when I put the rescue CD in it can get an address. I am wondering if the rescue CD is using a diferent DHCP client then is FC5? My ethernet is part of the Nvidia MCP410 chipset, with integrated Geforce 6100 gfx. I also tried setting the Address Static but still no success?

Can anyone help?

quick progress reply: I got Ethernet working somehow? I went into the BIOS and all I did really was enable Wake up in Power Management ?? That should have nothing to do with Ethernet setup? Anyways I booted into FC5 in single user mode and I am following the following instructions from

http://lunapark6.com/?p=481

Then after I am going to install
http://www.nvidia.com/object/linux_d..._1.0-8174.html

Which have linux support for the MCP410 and geforce 6100.

I will post up my results

The instruction from lunapark6.com were this ..

su -
cd /etc/yum.repos.d/
wget http://people.redhat.com/davej/kerne...5/kernels.repo
yum install rpm-build
yum update kernel kernel-devel -y
rpm -Uhv http://rpm.livna.org/livna-release5.rpm
mkdir /root/nvidia
cd /root/nvidida
wget http://www.leemhuis.info/files/fedor...lvn.5.i386.rpm
wget http://www.leemhuis.info/files/fedor...81_FC5.src.rpm
reboot
select the new kernel, then:
su -
rpmbuild –rebuild –target `uname -m` nvidia-kmod-*.src.rpm
cp -a /usr/src/redhat/RPMS/`uname -m`/kmod-nvidia* ./
rpm -Uvh kmod-nvidia-1.0.8178-0.*$(uname -r)*.rpm xorg-x11-drv-nvidia-1.0.8178-0.lvn.5.i386.rpm
modprobe nvidia
chkconfig nvidia-glx start
service nvidia-glx on
nvidia-xconfig
reboot

I am posting incase the site goes down or they take the review down.

not sure, let me know if it works though.
I doubt I could follow those direction as I am brain dead at the moment (just install solaris and test java app on sun4200).
I am currently trying to get my asp to run on sun asp (no more ccells left above my neck).
I got my nick to work by turning off the options for nic except the first one. Not sure that helped as I was working with core 4 at the time, never got it to stay working kept ditching me after like 2 minutes in core 4, but in core 5 no problems with nick. no mouse pointer but all else seems ok, it is very fast compared to the 32bit dell I was using.

I GAVE UP. I followed the STEPS but could not get the stupid emachines up and running on linux successfully . Once I followed the steps my screen never recovered. ALso my ethernet kept going out on me? I never had that problem with the Windows Drivers from emachines. Oh well back I go .. TO THE RESTORE DISK.
