This looks like a problem I had a couple of days ago. By any chance have you 
installed the shorewall firewall via Mandrake Control Center? If so once 
installed you need to configure some stuff before you can browse if you dont 
you'll be able to connect to the net but not reach any web sites. The usual 
error is "host unreachable" (I think) If this is the case you have 2 options

1. Configure Shorewall. 
You can get sample config scripts and info from their website 
(http://www.shorewall.net/). I didnt take this option so I cant help any 
further here.

2. Remove Shorewall
This I did do. Remove shorewall using the remove software gui. You also have 
to remove iptables as Shorewall plays with the iptables config (and this is 
what is actually blocking you). Reboot and install iptables again to get it 
back to its original state. (You may want to look at other alternatives to 
shorewall as well).

Hope this helps
