>Description:
my Intel EtherExpress Pro 10/100 is picked up in dmesg and ifconfig - but I cant seem to get a connection.  When I try to ping it either says it cannot dtermine the hostname or it just hangs up after I hit enter and after 5 or ten minutes gives me that message.  I dont understand what is wrong.  If anyone can help please email me.
>How-To-Repeat:
      Attempt to ping www.yahoo.com or any web address
>Fix:
      I am clueless here....
