That's how it is supposed to be, but maybe after making the changes to the files per a previous suggestion, it doesn't work correctly??
On RHEL5, the program used is "dhclient". To see if this is running, type
If you get a process ID, then it is running. If it's not running, then you probably did something wrong during installation. Report back here and we'll see what we can do.
Kill the process ("pkill dhclient") and start it again as root from the command line:
The -d tells it to stay in the foreground and print out debug messages. If you can't figure out what's going on there, copy the output and post it. (I suggest copying the output, saving to a file on a USB stick and rebooting into Vista...).
From the GUI - System > Administration > Network > Edit eth0
Check that the Automatically obtain IP & Automatically obtain DNS boxes are selected - apply and save. If WinXP works so should RH5.
The above assumes that eth0 has been detected correctly. Given that RH5 is not bleeding edge it is likely that it doesn't support a brand new Pavillions NIC in which case you would be better off using Fedora 9 (or Ubuntu 8.04 - whatever you fancy).
