Fedora 5 newbie with eth0 trouble

Hi, I'm new to this forum, and very new to Fedora 5 (and linux in general), which is what brought me to this great place :)
It seems that my computer is having trouble finding eth0, even though my nic works fine. I was wondering if there is anyway to fix this problem.
Thanks in advance for the help.

    By "your NIC works fine" do you mean that it's worked in Fedora before or it's worked at all in any OS before?

    Tell us about your computer (motherboard, motherboard chipset if you know it, NIC, NIC chipset if you know it, processor.)

    I'd like you to run the following commands for me as root in a console and post the output:
    To show all existing network interfaces:
    ifconfig -a
    To show all NICs in your computer:
    lspci | grep -i ethernet
    To show which, if any ethernet drivers are loaded:
    dmesg | grep -i eth

    It's an ALi mobo/chipset with an AMD k6 cpu.
    The nic is a 3com that I put in just for this server. I believe the chipset is Parallel Testing II.
    I had Fedora 3 installed on the computer before putting Fedora 5 on it, and I was able to access the internet fine, so that's why I know it works. The hub I'm using also sees the network connection.

    Here is what I got from the commands you told me to put in:

    Everything looks good on the hardware side, can you go into your network configuration tool and set up the interface for your network (e.g. DHCP)?
