I am trying to figure out what you question is.... Are you trying to set this machine up as a firewall router with two NIC cards? Are you allowing eth0 to DHCP and eth1 to service your private lan? Have you configured eth1 to 192.168.1.1? Usually eth0 is the primary external connection. It is uncertain what damage you may have done to prevent network access. You may need to reinstall to clear this up (I know you don't want to hear that). Trying to fix unknown damage is a very difficult task. Setting up a firewall router is not a trivial (newbie) task either.
In general I applaud your efforts. I think you have learned a great deal in the process. The problem you will find with Linux is you have the power to configure anything you want and you have the power to mess up your system. What did you get with the "ifconfig -a" ? >Hi, > >I instaled Mandrake 8.2 on my PM 7600.
