Setup:
New user of Release-4.0
NICs installed:
PCI NE2000 clone 'RealTek RTL-8029 PCI
Netgear Netgear FA 310TX  PCI 


Preface to comments below: 

When first installing, at the screen provided to resolve any hardware
conflicts.  There were 8 conflicts.  Every entry under the network menu was
in conflict.  I disabled them all.  I did boot up once leaving the
conflits in place and saw no difference.

Have I effectively disabled networking?

The 0S seems to find my cards here, but complains later about corrupt
memory in one device (see note further down)

From boot messages:

The above setup can ping the NIC card  address 209.144.117.113 But not
the gateway at my ISP .......114

Next I shut down dc0 and fired up ed0.

NOTE: dc0 shut down ..ed0 up
System logger gives these messages:

I then set up a connection on ed0

ifconfig ed0 inet 209.144.117.113 netmask 255.255.255.0

Gateway is already setup.

With dc0 down and this new interface on ed0, I can ping the nic and
the gateway on the other end.  But still not connected to the internet.

Can't ping my nameserver.

Resolv.conf looks like:

domain  ptw.com
nameserver      209.144.112.4

Contents /etc/hosts
127.0.0.1               localhost.ptw.com localhost
