Can't get my computer connected

I'm having a problem with Redhat 7.2. I recently installed it on a second hard disk on my computer and am now dual-booting with win2k. I have a DSL line with a static IP. I have no problem connecting to the Internet under win2k but when I boot Redhat I can't connect. I have statically assigned IP, net mask etc. to eth1 (the NIC connected to my DSL modem). I can't ping the NIC or anything other than the loopback address. The driver loaded for the NIC appears to be correctn (3com590xx). When I start loading Redhat the message "eth1 failed" appears several times until it times out and the OS loads without it. Does anyone have any ideas?

Login as root.
Did you use linuxconf to configure your network card? if so Use command "ifconfig" Should see your network card (eth0 or eth1) and the configuration info.
try the "ifup ethx" command - where 'x' is the number of your nic card device e.g. eth0 or eth1
if your card is configed the ifup command will start it.
Let me know if this helps.

I have the opposite problem. I can connect to Linux via the static IP, but I get zeros in Windows. The computer says that another computer on the network has the same address.
