Hi,

Please take care about the official name of the RedHat distro; it's
supposed to be 'RedHat 9'; without the '.0'.

The RedHat guys are rather sensible about this minor difference.
Maybe that's because Mandrake has a denomination sequence that goes like
9.0 - 9.1 etc. 

Sorry, for not being able to help you with the IP issue.

Have a nice day
