Mandriva may be setting your address by dchp, when your modem may require a set, or range of, ip address.
To bring up the IP information, try, "ifconfig"
make sure lo is pingable, "ping 127.0.0.1 -c 4" (counts 4 pings and displays) .........back in a minute
if you type in "drakxconf" you can change the configuration
