Network "deferred"...

[John Nelson <john computation com>]

All,

On my Linux laptop when I boot I get the [FAILED] status and an error 
message that says "network deferred".  Automounts fail (makes sense since 
it has deferred network connection).  Is this a result of DHCP or some 
misconfiguration?  I do have a DHCP server which should be properly set up 
so even if it is a DHCP issue, that DHCP server should be doling out those 
numbers.

Also, name resolution is failing (another duh... no network).

I'm sure its something simple but can't put my finger on it.
