[newbie] Internet Connection Sharing Wizard in Mandrake 8.0 cannot find ethernet card

[// kerin | b o c u m a . c o m |]

Hi all,

I'm (obviously) a Linux newbie, and I'm having trouble trying to configure
internet connection sharing.

I've got a simple 2 PC network, with my Linux machine as the server, and a
windows 2000 box as a client. I've got my ADSL connection all up and running
under Linux without a hitch. Linux' eth0 is working fine, with an IP of
192.168.0.1 (my ADSL conn. is USB, not ethernet).

I can ping fine from Linux -> windows and back again. But, when I run the
Mandrake Internet Connection Wizard, it gives me an error that it can;t find
an ethernet card, check hardware setup.

How can I work around this? The ethernet card & network is obviously working
fine as I can ping back and forth without trouble.

Thanks,
