Howdy all,
                                                             
                  
Had RR installed today and it appears to be working fine in
that I can
surf and receive email etc but I noticed that the eth0 Krell
in GKrellM was
not showing any outgoing traffic.
                                                             
                  
System: RedHat 9 standalone connected to a SurfBoard SB3100
cable modem
via a Linksys LNE100TX 10/100 LAN Card.  Formerly on dial-up
with Portbridge.
                                                             
                  
RedHat detected the card on reboot and allowed me to configure
it on the
spot.  I chose the dynamic IP option and carried on and everything
seems to work normally.  Ifconfig however, also shows no
outgoing traffic as
well:

Can anybody clue me in on what I need to fix?
TIA
