Hi:

I am a total newbie with Linux. Have installed Mandrake 9.1 on a Dell Dimension 82K laptop - and, best of all, I have a Fast Ethernet connection in the plug at the wall in my house (by way of fibre-optic cable!). 10 mbit symmetrical.

BUT, I just can't seem to get connected to the Internet ;(

I have tried the wizard in Mandrake Control-centre. It finds my 10/100 network card (says "up").

Can anyone help, please?

Best,

pprms

First check if you typed corectly the ip addresses of the ethernet card

maybe your firewall settings are not set properly
