Make sure the ethernet card is found during the initial device probe. I think you can hit ALT-F2 on the main menu and it will list the network devices found. Or you can hit scroll-lock on the main screen and use the up arrow tosee the device probe messages. 2. Make sure the IP address used is unique. Two machines cannot have the same IP! 3. Make sure you fill in the nameserver's IP address. 4. Press ALT-F2 when you get the error message and look at the error messages reported.
