    You might also check to make certain your Ethernet drivers are
installed. If the previous system was trashed and the driver wasn't
reinstalled, neither MacTCP nor anything else can use the card. You
might have to dig out your distribution or Apple disks and reinstall
ethernet software. 

    (Based on sad experience here...)

    Note that Shiva has not yet released 7.0 compatible drivers for
their Ethernet cards. I've been trying to get them to call back for
about a week now, as we were supposed to become a beta site for the new
software but haven't received it yet. As far as I know, however, the
Apple boards 7.0 compatible drivers are OK.
