I have a new Dell 740n system with the following configuration.

        AMD Athalon X2-5000+
        NVIDIA 4 chip set
        150 GB SATA disk
        Onboard Broadcom 57XX NIC

I have a default FC 5 X64 installation with the kernel configuration of
"noapic" and the computer boots ok, and is stable. But I have no network.

Computer is one of 4 on a switch, the other three are able to receive DHCP
address no problems

Installed Intel pro/1000 MT NIC, configured for DHCP…No Address received

Changed to Static IP…no outbound traffic

Changed back to DHCP… can not contact DHCP server

Changed to direct connected (not from Stitch) network cable …no outbound
traffic

Used a cross over cable connected to known working computer …no outbound
traffic

Reinstalled the OS, thinking I had messed something up…still no network

Changed NIC's thinking that maybe the NIC was bad…still no network

Searched Google for a fix…can not seem to find any thing.

Dose anyone have any ideas?

What does /sbin/ifconfig say about the network card(s)?  Did you set
the new card up after installing it (system-config-network)?  Are
there any error messages in dmesg or /var/log/messages?  Are the cards
recognized and using an appropriate driver?  How are you testing?  Is
your route setup correctly?
It sounds like you have tried a lot with hardware, but you also need
software (the drivers and configuration) in order to talk the the
hardware.  Ideally it would all just work, but something is apparently
getting confused.  Do you have a NIC known to work with Linux?
