There's a slight problem with that:  if she's not networked, she'd have to
type all that out by hand.  Ugh!

Jenn, the most important part at this point is the IP address and Mask for
eth0 from ifconfig.  (lo is the loopback interface, it will be 127.0.0.1 --
no need to deal with that...)

You might also want to run "mii-tool" as root, which will tell you your link
speed, link state, and duplex for your ethernet card.

You should also inspect the contents of two files:  /etc/sysconfig/network
and /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0 -- please make sure the values
in there are what you expect for your network.

Also:  are you using dhcp?
