You do not have your network card initialized. It is there, but not 'up'.
The 'lo' network card is a local 'loopback'. All (almost all) machines
have this device.
Since you don't use your network card at all, you need to manually assign
an IP address to it and then 'bring up' the device.
To keep things simple, just type this command in (as root).
ifconfig eth0 192.168.1.1 broadcast 192.168.1.255 netmask 255.255.255.0
What this does is tells the computer that eth0 (first network device) to
use the IP 192.168.1.1. The rest is self-explanatory.
After you issue that command, type 'ifconfig' and send to the company the
output of eth0.
It seems rather 'strange' to me that to get a software license you need to
give information about your network card. Oh well.
Hope this helps.
Curt
