Doh. Well, I tried another cable just on a whim...that must have been it.
DHCP and other networking all work fine again. I just can't seem to make
reliable cables.

Now for another question:

I can't get Tomcat (4.0) to listen on port 80 because it needs privs to do
so...the server.xml file currently has the default in it, which is 8180. Has
anyone else here used Tomcat on RH 7.2, and how did you get it to listen to
port 80? Do I need to setuid something? 

TIA,
