I have seen this suggestion before, and I think it actually worked for one user, but it did not work for me. I edited lilo.conf from Konsole, and I assume I did it correctly since I checked the control center window, and the "Force no APIC" box was checked even though I did not check it myself.
Still, "Determining IP information... failed" If only I had a nickel for every time I've seen that over the past week...

Here is the relevant text from dmesg:

OK, deleted all connections, and set up a new LAN from drakconnect. Went
to Konsole and typed some commands:

# dhcpcd eth0
# ifconfig -a

I am not new to computers, but networking them is still a foreign subject to me, so I admit that I am not sure of what any of this means.

I cannot thank you enough for your help, coverup! I downloaded a Synaptics driver, and though I do not have a PS/2 to USB converter, my desktop has a USB mouse I used to test this config on, and it works perfectly!
For reference, here is the URL of the driver I downloaded

A simple if config returns:

Whether LAN or cable modem, ifup eth0 still fails to determine an IP address. I have also tried dhcpcd eth0, but that does not do anything. I do not know much about host names. In case this is relevant, I leave all such fields blank when running the wizard.
Determining IP information for eth0... failed, if only I had a nickel for every time I have seen that in the past 72 hours!

Here's what's in my X Config file:
Section "Input Device"
Identifier "Mouse1"
Driver "mouse"
Option "Protocol" "ExplorerPS/2"
Option "Device" "/dev/mouse"
Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5"
EndSection
...
Section "ServerLayout"
InputDevice "Mouse1" "CorePointer"
In my /dev there exists a mouse@, which is displayed in light blue text.

I have a Motorola SB5100 that connects me to Road Runner's internet service. I plug the modem into my laptop computer's ethernet port (the card is a Realtek 8139). Under windows, this used to work automatically. Under Mandrake 10.1, this won't work at all. I cannot bring up the network interface. In drakconnect, I select cable modem with automatic IP (my IP address is assigned by DHCP). ifup eth0 command always fails. I have spent hours trying different things, would appreciate some ideas.

I have recently installed Mandrake 10.1 on a laptop. The laptop has a Synaptics TouchPad which works fine under Mandrake; however, I have used this touchpad quite literally to death, and I have to mash its buttons very hard because they are so worn out. Very inconvenient!
I tried to plug an external mouse in the laptop's external PS/2 port, and then ran mousedrake and selected "PS/2 --> Generic PS2 Wheel Mouse". The mouse I want to use is a Logitech mouse with two buttons and a scroll wheel, very basic.
However, upon reboot, the touchpad is still functioning normally (A Bad Thing), while the only input the external mouse will give is if I move it very fast it will open a context menu.
I do not care as much about disabling my touchpad as I do about getting Drake to use my external mouse normally. I've spent the last few hours editing my xorg.conf and lilo.conf to no avail. Can anyone help me?

If you don't see an immediate solution, it would probably be best to let this go for awhile because starting today, this box is going on vacation for a few months and will only have access to dialup (thanks to Linuxant!). I will still be reading this forum, and will likely pick back up on this problem in August.
I do appreciate your replies. Bearing in mind that I've never met a computer problem that hasn't been solved, I still have hopes for this laptop.
