OK, sounds like you've got a few problems. First, from a command prompt, run the command neat, then adjust your network settings accordingly. Your 127.0.0.1 address should not be hosting to adelphia so remove the adelphia stuff and put in localhost.localdomain .<BR>
You need to see how your harddrive is being recognized, run the command dmesg and see what your hard drive is, it is probably something like /dev/hde since it's on a seperate controller. There are a bunch of options that can be put in the lilo.conf file, most importantly the map-drive= line, to give you an idea of the seperate commands on a dual boot/multi hard drive system, I will include a copy of my /etc/lilo.conf file, if you change that, run the lilo command again and you can probably do away with the floppy, One other VERY important note, some systems cant handle the linear geometry, change that to lba32 if so,<BR>

you say it should. But nothing changed with respect to my inability to
go anywhere but Redhat.com. And it is the Redhat.com site as opposed to
any built-in help files. For example, I was able to sign up for the
demo RHN account and have it query my system for available updates.
Also, I attempted to edit my etc/hosts file. It now looks like this:
# Do not remove the following line, or various programs
# that require network functionality will fail.
127.0.0.1 GCPL301.buf.adelphia.net localhost
That host name above is what I got from the Host Name field in ipconfig
when I was running Windows. I'm not sure about that IP address though.
Does it look like I set it up correctly? I still get the "Welcome to
dhcp-124-6" at the login screen, and the "Could not look up internet
address . . ." message when logging in despite making this change.
Another problem that I didn't mention before is that I can only boot
from a floppy. I'm not sure exactly why, but I guess it is because my
BIOS doesn't know how to look for the hard drive as a bootable device.
And that may be because my drive is connected through an ultra ATA
controller card being that it is too large for my system BIOS. When I
go into my BIOS setup, it simply shows my onboard IDE 1 channels as
being empty (which they are) and my DVD and CD as installed in the IDE 2
channels. It can't see the controller card or the two drives attached
to it. However, when the machine boots, I can see when the BIOS on the
controller card runs and detects the two drives attached to it.
Anyway, I was wondering if there might be a setting on the floppy that
is giving me trouble.
Again, I'm most appreciative of all your help.

Actually, use chkconfig again:
chkconfig --level 345 iptables off
Then you don't have to mess around with the symlinks & Ks & Ss manually.
