 Hi,

 I am a newbie to Linux. I have Mandrake 9.0 on a Compaq ML310 server with
 512 MB memory, 2.0 Ghz P4 processor. The server has an integrated NC7760
 PCI Gigabit network adapter which gets detected alright. I proceed to
 assign an IP address, subnet mask and other TCP/IP network parameters to
 it. Sever does not complain but the network does not come up. ie, ping to
 the local ethernet produces no reply. Could I be missing something?. Anyone
 with this experience?

 Looking forward to your assistance.

Did you set the network to start on boot?

Try opening a root terminal and entering
service network start
If no good try 
ifup eth0

If still no good what do you see with
ifconfig eth0?
Can you ping your own adapter?
