Mandrake 9 / Router problem


Hi, I'm trying to connect my laptop running Mandrake 9 to the Internet through my D-Link DI-604 router. I tried both automatically with DHCP and manually by setting a static IP. Here is my setup in Mandrake Control Center:

IP: 192.168.0.101
Netmask: 255.255.255.0
DNS: 192.168.0.1
Gateway: 192.168.0.1

As you can see, my router's address is 192.168.0.1. I typed dmesg | grep eth0 in the terminal and it doesn't show anything except for one line describing the name of my ethernet card. Am I forgetting something? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

you might also want to try the command dhcpcd eth0

that will set up eth0 to use DHCP again that's dhcpcd (client daemon) not dhcpd (that's the server daemon if im not mistaken).

ok well i got it to work but i didnt. it absolutely WILL NOT work if i tell it to assign an IP automatically via DHCP...but it will work if I give it a valid local IP, i'm using 192.168.0.101 now perfectly...I wonder why DHCP doesn't work at all...I'm dual booting windows XP and everything works fine without having to with DHCP in it, so it's not my router or my NIC...just how Linux interpretes them ...ya know, every distro there's always just 1 thing to tweak the hell out of ...at least for me ...well I'll still take suggestions on how to get this damn dhcp to work....

Thanks a lot,
Axion
