Hi, on my prior Mandrake sistems (9.1,9.0,8....)
if you whant to use the DHCP option, you must have a
HDCP server that provides you the control of the
addresses over youre net.
So if you don't have it, the easyest thing you can do
is use the static ip address assigned by youre selfe.
For using the linux PC as a server it must have the 2
network cards on it and one must be connected to the
adsl device and the other to youre network hub or
switch. then use the DrackGW option of the mandrake
control center on Networks and Internet. This is and
wizz that will guide you to the sucssesfull internet
sharring.
(my english isn't good at all but i'll do my best to
help you.)
Cdrack.
