Hi

I've just installed Mandriva on my laptop, Windows was falling apart on there anyway, and although my wireless LAN card can see the wireless network and connect to it, I still can't browse, or use the internet in any way. The wireless network is an adhoc network which shares a broadband connection on my Windows PC, so the laptop connects to the PC and the accesses the internet through that.

Similarly, if I connect directly from the laptop to the broadband modem using a regular cat5 network cable, although it appears to be connected, I still get nothing.

Interestingly, whenever the Mandriva laptop tries connecting to the internet, my PC seems to lose connection. This might just be a coincidence.

What am I doing wrong?
