/etc/conf.modules
alias parport_lowlevel parlport_pc
alias eth0 de4x5

/etc/sysconfig/network
NETWORKING =yes
HOSTNAME = "localhost.localdomain"
GATEWAY = "216.15.51.129"
GATEWAY DEV =  "eth0"
FORWARD 1Pv4 = "yes"

/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0
DEVICE = "eth0"
IPADDR = "216.15.51.131"
ONBOOT = "yes"
BOOTPROTO = "none"
IPXNETNUM_802_2 = " "
IPXPRIMARY_802_2 = "no"
IPXACTIVE_802_2 = "no"
IPXNETNUM_802_3 = " "
IPXPRIMARY_802_3 = "no"
IPXACTIVE_802_3 = "no"
IPXNETNUM_ETHERII = " "
IPXPRIMARY_ETHERII = "no"
IPXACTIVE_ETHERII = "no"
IPXNETNUM_SNAP = " "
IPXPRIMARY_SNAP = "no"
IPXACTIVE_SNAP = "no"

the ip address is correct as is gateway address

thanks again...lynn
