I think the problem may be that I do not have the dummy module.  I knew to install it, but it wasnt on the cd that I have.  If thats the problem Im really confused on what to do from here.  I am attaching a copy of some of the things that I did when I tried your commands.  if you have other specific commands for me to run, please let me know

I pasted your error.txt into the body of this message.  That's usually a
better solution than sending attachments to hundreds if not thousands of
people :)  Anyway, in your /etc/init.d/network script, why is your
machines ip address on 192.168.42. subnet while the broadcast address is
given as 192.168.1.255?  I'm assuming this is your private LAN, forgive
me as I haven't been following the thread.  See the second line of the
ifconfig output for eth0?  It starts w/ unspec addr, which means
unspecified address, and I believe this is because the ip address and
broadcast address don't match as being on the same subnet in the
/etc/init.d/network script.  YOu should pick either the 192.168.1. or
192.168.42. subnet.
