Network and internet through router problem? (LINUX)
Hey. I just installed mandrake linux 10. 1 and it says that my network connection is active yet I am not sure how to set up the internet to work properly, my firewall is off yet it will not ping outside of the local network and I cannot see the other computers on the windows network.

Is your internet connection static or dynamic?
Mandrake should have set up the connection, if you configured it during the install.
I assume that there is a lan card on your system, connected to the router, noy via a USB modem?
Go to a terminal window, as root user and type in ifconfig (hit the enter key)
See if you get a response on eth0 and an IP address.
If possible, post the results.
