1. RH9 is beyond "End of life". Try a newer distribution
2. 2.4.20-8 is the original "out-of-box" kernel. Red Hat released at least
nine updates, and 'download.fedoralegacy.org' released yet another.

The line should read
141.11.90.104 HANVD446NT60.domain.tld HANVD446NT60
with the appropriate domain. I suspect thmulti.com is part of the address,
but the network administrators don't have rDNS configured.

Editing typo? Should be loopback

No interrupts from the Ethernet card. Bad sign, although the system has
been up for about a half hour.

It thinks the link came up OK

but something isn't right with the setup. This _could_ be a driver issue,
as your kernel is ancient, and a _LOT_ of work has going into that driver
of late.

This appears to say that you can talk to the hardware OK.

REJECT!!!!!
1. You heard 13367 packets, although there is no interrupt count
2. You have dropped 5546 packets - they were there, but you didn't read them.
3. You had 177 overruns - packets that were partially overwritten

Well, you are having some kind of hardware problem. The first thing I'd
be looking at is the network cable, as giganet wants great cables that
are short, or fiber. Next, I'd be looking at the boot messages, both for
the eth0 interface, and the USB controller. You may notice that it's
sharing the interrupt, and appears to be unused (according to /proc/modules).
You might try removing the line from /etc/modules.conf for that.

Compare the setups - specifically the boot messages and /sbin/ifconfig
output. Also check the cables.

Yes, this appears to be a hardware type problem, and because your
networking is not working at all, you can't contact the DHCP server.
