Newbie help!

Yes, I did add support to my kernel. I found the problem and its almost 
embarassing to say, but the file /etc/sysconfig/networks was not written 
properly when I set things up through linuxconf. I finally edited the file 
and entered the gateway device. That fixed it.
Thanks for the reply though.
