Had to replace dying cpu and mobo, so also replaced IDE with new SATA drive. Installed from latest ISO onto SATA and can't get networking to lease an IP address from my ISP (Comcast). The network utility always comes up with a private address (192.168.0.2) instead of Comcast IP.
To add to confusion, if I boot into old IDE drive, I get proper network connection to internet, but lose my swap!
Particulars:
mobo=Gigabyte P35-DS3R SATA Controller=AHCI PATA Controller=JMicron 20360 new drive=ATA WDC WD1600AAJS-2 old drive=WDC WD400JB-00JJA0 DVD-RW=Pioneer DVR-112D (PATA) NICs=eth0=Realtek RTL-8029(AS) (DHCP) eth1=Realtek RTL-8029(AS) (Static)
Has anyone seen this? Will 5.2 help with this situation? Been working on this for days!
Thanks, Dick

If it helps any, I tried installing 5,1 on a P35-DS3L and I believe I had issues with the network card, loaded RHEL 5.2 desktop and everything worked so maybe 5.2 will work for you.

Thanks for the info, Juan. I'll just hold tight until 5.2 comes down the pike.

Updating the r8169 driver will not solve a driver issue with the RTL8029 chip. The RTL8029 is an old NE2000 clone chip (must be atleast 10 years old by now). It was common on cheap 10Mbit PCI cards and is supported by the ne2k-pci driver for many years (and the plain ne2k driver before PCI support was split out).
