I was a little unclear. My problems are as follows:
1. I don't have access to any configuration information about the router or
the DHCP server.
2. Windows 95 works fine. I can run the program winipcfg.exe and it will
allow me to release and to gain an IP from the DHCP server. I don't know of
a similar program that runs under linux, other running
/etc/rc.d/init.d/network to start and stop the networking.
3. The only DHCP specific link I could find at
http://sunsite.unc.edu/LDP/links.html was
http://www.sghms.ac.uk/~mpreston/tools.htm which is a dead link.
4. I downloaded all the latest drivers from
http://cesdis.gsfc.nasa.gov/linux as well as the diagnostic programs for my
card and couldn't find anything interesting, i.e. they ran and I still
don't have a clue.
