Well I don't know much about the details - I'm not a sysadmin.
All I know is that with every other OS I've tried here (Win98/Win2K/WinXP,
Mac OS X 10.2, 10.3 and 10.4), network connectivity has always worked right
out of the box, no tweaking required.
I always select DHCP configuration and it just works.
As I've said, the WB are both running Win XP is dual-boot and Firefox works
great on the Win XP side. The Win XP machines are DHCP-configured.
All machines are behind the company firewall but have direct external
Internet connections (no need to specify a proxy).
This is a copy of the WIN XP's IPCONFIG command output:

And this is a copy of the White Box's ifconfig ON THE SAME MACHINE:

Why do I have no problems in Windows, but basically can't connect externally
on Linux?
Here is the output of the ifconfig on my Mac OS X box (no problems there
either):
