Okay, I got it to connect, I can ping it from my windows comp, but the internet still doesn't work.

I had been trying to install various distros under this board before I selected Mandrake, and the card worked with them. I think it might be a BIOS setting, since I cleared the BIOS before installing Mandrake, but I can't find one that'd take care of it. I've also tried using Fedora instead of Mandrake, but the same error occurs.

Oh, and to clarify, I'm running the line to a D-Link ethernet router to get a signal off my cable modem. I don't know what settings need to be set, I've been trying different settings to no avail.

Okay.... I didn't turn off the motherboard ethernet card, because that's the one I want to work. I just took out the second one. it reads in MCC as eth0, No Ip, dhcp, 8139too, down.

Hi, I'm a complete and utter novice at linux, and last night I built myself a linux box and installed Mandrake 9.2 on it. Everything seems to check out and work fine, except the ethernet on the motherboard. I tried installing a second card, but that didn't work either. The board is a Soyo P4X400 Dragon Lite (onboard is Realtek8139). I really have no clue how to fix it, nothing I try seems to work and it's getting really frustrating. Mandrake detects the card, it just can't get it to connect. Thanks for any help, and please remember that, being a fresh user with my first real install, I have only the most rudimentary knowledge of command line, from my old DOS days. Thanks, John
