Jason; Try re-doing the network setup in the Mandrake Control Center and set the network card to DHCP. No need to setup a DHCP server or anything like that, since the Dell router is probably providing the DHCP service for you. You may not even need to put in your DNS or gateway information as they could possibly be provided by the router. It's possible that you have an IP conflict if you're using an IP address that the WinME system is using or that the Dell router is trying to pass to another PC. Also, make sure that you disable any firewalls running on the Linux OS ( Shorewall or IPtables ) since they may be preventing any traffic at all, especially Shorewall.
Give that a try and get back to us with the results. Lanman
