I would also recommend removing any pcmcia cards before booting, and also turning off any LAN (pxe) boot setting in the bios.

OK - I reinstalled. I tried the version that someone here mentioned as well as Puppy 3.01 and could not get it to boot properly from the CD.

I'm giving up on the built in NIC for now.

I think the built in Intel NIC was defective - I gave up on it and put Windows XP on it. The Intel NIC still wouldn't work. It was an old laptop that was going to be used by a student so it didn't matter.
