Can you at least ping the gateway at 192.168.0.1 ?

ping 192.168.0.1

Also while the ping is still running (like the command above) to your proxy-gateway go to the back of the PC and make sure the cable is plugged into the correct card whose TX-RX light is blinking (since you have two cards I'm wondering if the Linux is buttigning the eth1 to the opposite card that XP used)

I'm buttuming you want a static ip address on this PC of 192.168.0.66, that's consistent with the BOOTPROTO=none and the IPADDR being set in the ifcfg-eth1 file. buttuming your proxy or gateway-firewall does DNS serving to you from your ISP, you can set PEERDNS=no and put in theetc-resolv.conf:

nameserver 192.168.0.1

At this redhat.com URL, I also note you can set the DNS1 value in the ifcfg-eth1 file if you set PEERDNS=yes

.... ref-guide-s1-networkscripts-interfaces.html

PEERDNS=yes

then the system will put the right nameserver entry into theetc-resolv.conf for you... I'm not sure why that's better. It might be good since you'd see all the stuff in one file.

My current guess is still that you don't get any network because the cable's going to the wrong card... Also if your IP is static, it would be a good idea to put some hostname into theetc-hosts file in addition to the localhost one

127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain localhost 192.168.0.66 aldinpc.whatever.net aldinpc

I'd also put inetc-sysconfig-network:

HOSTNAME=aldinpc.whatever.net GATEWAY=192.168.0.1 GATEWAYDEV=eth1

the "whatever.net" doesn't really matter in this case, I personally use the same domain name as my ISP.
