Hi Collins,

I too have a NIC labled as dc0.  My NIC is a Linksys 10/100 Etherfast PCI 
card.  What is yours?  As you know, it makes a difference which NIC you 
choose in sysinstall.  Your choice of using the Ne1k - Ne2k is correct for my 
card, but I don't know about yours.  Please send the dmesg output in your 
next post.

You probably know, but it helps me to remember by typing it out again:
dmesg|grep dc0


HTH
