You need to configure the card with DHCP, to do that edit the profile file
for the adapter (probebly eth0) can't remember where the file is though,
somewhere like /etc/sysconfig/networking/profiles/ifeth0. See if that work

Subject: [newbie] Linux on School Network
Hello,
I'm trying to get a Mandrake Linux 8.1 server that my friend had set
up running on my school's network, but unfortunately it is not getting
an IP address. I've taken the network card and plugged it into my
Windows box, activated it on the network, and placed it back in the
server box, so I know that's not it (we're required to accept terms of
use before it allows our cards to access the internet). I've also
re-run the network configuration tool in the Mandrake Control Center and
it still won't get an IP. Any ideas? What other information do you
need to help? We don't know what else to try from here. Thanks.

done away with at once. Heroism at command, senseless brutality, and all the
loathsome nonsense that goes by the name of patriotism, how violently I hate
all this, how despicable and ignoble war is; I would rather be torn to
shreds than be part of so base an action! It is my conviction that killing
under the cloak of war is nothing but an act of murder.
