-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Have you verified that dhcpcd is installed? Use 'locate dhcpcd', and you should find it in /sbin (along with several other hits, but the actual executable is in the above directory). If it is not installed, just install it, then re-run the network configurator in Mandrake's Control Center. If it is installed, then try disabling dhcp and giving yourself a static IP. Can you reach the network after that? If not, then your problem is somewhere else. If yes, then you might have a dhcp problem. Just some troubleshooting tips, hope they help.
