["Pritam Borkar" <pritamborkar uk2 net>]

hi,

I am a newbee to Linux and have installed RH9 and that too the personal
desktop installation. during the network wizard i configured RH9 to use a
static IP address as i am using cable internet and punched in the IP
address the default gateway address as well as the DNS server address,
then too it did not connect to the Internet.

Please Help
