Hi...

I've got 3 Dell computers:
2 Dell optoplex gx 1
1 Dell Dimention 4100

All three have the same network card 3com 3c918 integrated fast ethernet controller 3c905 -tx compatible (from win 98 net info)

the 2 optiplex can run knoppix with absolutely no, repeat no problem. The Dimension can't get an dhcp address. on boot up the dhcp request get backgrounded.

Any ideas? I know I should have more details but I'm tired and needed to get this posted. If you need more info I'll be happy to oblige.

thanks
NGS
