I suppose I should give more details about my machine. It's an old Dell Latitude XPi 133 w/ a Linksys 10-Base2 / 10-BaseT pcmcia ethernet card. Like I said below, it didn't dhcp on our network but I could provide a static address. I also specified the media type as I believe I had read that the card manager software could not always auto detect it properly.
