For someone new to linux and Mandriva, I would suggest you open the Mandrake Control Center. You will need your root password. There are wizards on the Network and Internet tab. Basically you fill in the blanks with things like IP address, gateway address etc.

If you need more guidance, please state your physical hookup to the internet.

You can find MCC by clicking start --> System -->Configuration --> Configure Your Computer. You can also launch MCC by typing MCC at a command prompt.

You are going to have to get in contact with the administration people at your college in order to get this going. I do not have any understanding of what "Cybernetra" is. This may be a proxy server, but that is just a guess on my part.

The college will have to supplly all information such as IP adderess, gateway, proxys, DNS. With that information, update the wizards. It will fly if you get all the information correct.
