Need help -- always need to set up ethernet card after every boot


Every time I watch Linux run, eth0 fails to load properly, even after I've set up a connect that allows me to have internet access. Is there any way to have Mandrake keep the settings after I set up an inernet connection?

Also, the internet seems slower than it should be. Anybody know of a way to speed this thing up? I seems like it's searching for the host to the website I type in or something and is taking longer than it should.

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

Additional info needed ...
Are you using Mandrake Control Center to set up eth0 ?
What version of Mandrake?
Is this a broadband connection?
Are you behind a router?
