The above is correct, with a netmask of 255.255.254.0, your gateway would
be 204.210.120.1. =)  Are we confussed yet, isn't networking great!  Your
still installing DHCP, with redhat it should default to install DHCP if
you chose Networked Worksation during the install process.  Then at the
end it will ask you if you want to configure your network (not dialup
networking), answering yes will take you into the ethernet setup, where
you can choose manual or dhcp.  Choosing dhcp will config everything
properly and with a reboot you should get an IP from RR.  Then install
rrlogon or rrlogind and your set.
