That would hold true except that my Red Hat system and Turbolinux system are
on the same machine. They are using the same NIC card with the same MAC
address.
Is there anybody out there using Roadrunner with Redhat that has had similar
problems?
Also, can anybody tell me how to confirm that DHCP is up and running fine?

if your cable modem is less then 6-8 months old it could be locked by the
mac address of the nic for the turbolinux system and your solaris machine
will not be able to work. this is why i will not change my modem
