help plz


Im running Mandrake version 10.1, and im trying to get the internet to work, but its not quite working right now. heres what I do, im not sure whats wrong (my friend let me borrow his webspace, so it should be easier for you guys to help me if you can):
Ok so first of all I go here:
http://gh0st16.com/Screenshot.png
then I click new connection to get here:
http://gh0st16.com/Screenshot-1.png
I select lan connection and do next to get here:
http://gh0st16.com/Screenshot-2.png
I select the eth0 one and do next to get here:
http://gh0st16.com/Screenshot-3.png
I select automatic and then get here:
http://gh0st16.com/Screenshot-4.png
Now when im here in not really sure, I select the stuff that is shown, but im not sure what to put in the first empty box, I am running a cable modem through a linksys router. If I use windows and type in 192.168.1.1 I get into the router config page. I also know my IP address and theres some stuff in the router config about DNS1 and masks and stuff, and I wrote it all down, but im not sure what im supposed to put in that box.
So this time I just left it empty and clicked to go here:
http://gh0st16.com/Screenshot-5.png
Im not sure what to put in it so I leave it blank and go here:
http://gh0st16.com/Screenshot-6.png
Again I dont know what to put in so I go here:
http://gh0st16.com/Screenshot-7.png
It asks me if I want to restart, so I say yes and then the window turns gray for a while (its loading or something) then about 30 seconds later it comes up with this:
http://gh0st16.com/Screenshot-8.png
So im like "ok cool it worked" I do what it says and logout, then log back in, open mozilla, type in www.yahoo.com and.... doesent work. Please help me, ive been trying to get it to work for days now, and I cant get it, I would be incredibly gratefull to anyone that would help me.

Edit: Oh yeah and ignore the "192.168.1.101" thing thats up at the top window bars, I put that in sometime before and I guess it just stayed there.

please use a suitable thread title in future. "help plz" is not useful or informative in any way at all. and surely it could have at least said "please".. this isn't on a mobile phone text message....

as far as what to enter, on the dhcp scree, i wouldn't put anything in, and i'd untick Assign hostname from DHCP address too.

enter a hostname in the next one though. call your linux machine whatever you want.

but you don't seem to be aware of anythign about DHCP... does your router provide DHCP addresses? if not, then you will want to not select DHCP earlier in the process and manually assign you IP of choice.
