Additional info:

I have been in touch with 'Phillip' in support as this is a new product and I 
have not been able to get on the net since I first installed. It was he who 
suggested that I submit this report and I take that to mean that he can help 
me no further. 
The Ethernet card works fine with Windows XP and I hook up to the server no 
problem. I have spoken to my ISP and they say that although they do not give 
support for RH they know of no reason why I should not be able to hook on to 
the server. My ISP is Blueyonder cable and I get on through a cable modem.
