Run the Mandrake Control Center and click on "Network and Internet" then "Connection". Click now on the Wizard button. Let it auto-detect then make sure it's configuring the LAN connection. Select DHCP (automatic IP), specify your host name. DNS server and gateway should both be set to 10.0.0.138 At that point you should be done. HTH Brian
