hi
I live in Toronto area too...i am Shaw@Home
@home uses dhcp, here is how to set that up in Mandrake
make sure you have dhcpcd installed, to make sure type which dhcpcd
run netcfg, goto interfaces tap, you should see eth0 if you don't see that
that means your nic is your working probably
now select eth0 and click Edit. now change the interface configuration
protocol to dhcp. make suere that you don't type anyting in other fields.
and reboot!!!!
if it doesn't work mail me
