YDL 4.0 no Network

[Steve Meyer]

 From previous conversation...
"SM> when I do 'ifconfig -a' I do not see a MAC address listed.
----------------------------------------------------------
Current conversation:
RS> You don't see something like this?

    "eth0      Link encap:Ethernet  HWaddr 00:0a:43:75:96:3A"

	
	No, I don't...no MAC address is listed.

RS> "It should be... after you run ifup, 'service iptables status' (as 
root) should
show the firewall config.."

	When i ran 'ifup eth0' I get  "configuration for eth0 not found." 
message. Yet in the GUI side 'System Settings/Network', the hardware 
tab lists GMAC (Sun GEM) 	as eth0 and it says it's status is "ok".

RS> "you can use tcpdump (as root) to watch traffic, to see if you are 
getting dhcp
replies..

tcpdump -l -i eth0"

	Again I have problems running tcpdump...I think this is due to the 
fact that there is no Ethernet card configured? The G3 Blue and White 
was on the YDL 	supported hardware list with no issues regarding the 
onboard NIC.  I would like to use the same NIC that works with Mac OS X 
but wonder if I should setup a 	different NIC in the computer so I can 
network in Linux...however, that card will most likely not work with OS 
X?

Thanks for all your help,

Steve
