Eth0 down

[Guest Chris:S]

Mandrake gives an error; Eth0 failed. I have installed Mandrake 10.1 Community on my Laptop - http://www.jewelnotebooks.nl/index.php?page=saffier-1510 , mandrake does recognise my card (VIA Rhine II 10/100) and i have runned the config tool in MCC, installed LAN connection using DHCP. My card is connected to a sitecom router, and so are 4 other (windows XP operated) computers. On one of the windows computers, I've installed Mandrake Comm too and it connected fine, I didn't even have to install anything :). I have installed both windows xp and Mandrake on my laptop too, the connection works fine when I use windows.

 

Ifconfig Eth0 gives:
