I know this should be so simple, but Mandrake just doesn't get it. eth0 using tulip is connected to my cable modem. I have it set to dhcp as it should. On installation I have 2 nics. eth1 is for a nic I plan to use in the future, but it's not connected for now. During install I specified to use eth0 with a 'cable' connection. I gave mandrake some bogus host name mypc.myserver.me.com just to move on. There is no reason this didn't config itself.
