hi sid,
do you have a static IP address or dynamic ?
If you have a static assigned IP addresss, then you setup your systems if
you were on a LAN - did Mandrake recognize your ethrrnet card ? If you have
a static IP address, then you setup your info through DrakConf and input
your IP address, gateway address, DNS address.
cheers.
