Is this a laptop you're using?

What happens if you try "ifdown eth0" first?  Is your DHCP server up and running?

Yes, it is a laptop I'm using. When i try "ifdown eth0" nothing happens, it doesnt give a response.What's a DHCP server?

Let me ask a different question.  How did you configure that interface?  Have a look under (I think) /etc/network.  There is probably a file "eth0" or something like that.  What's in it?  What kind of network hardware do you have?  If it's PCMCIA, is the PCMCIA system running?

DHCP - this is where computers ask another computer for their IP address, gateway, DNS servers, etc., rather than being manually configured.

Nothing is working, and i think trying to reinstall Windows 98 is much easier than trying to make the PCMCIA card work, which is clearly the problem since that DHCP thing option in the netconfig doesnt work. Screw this.
