Network settings on Mandriva 2006

Hi all!
I'm quite new to Linux and need your help.
I have a Linux machine inside a LAN. One PC (Windows 2000 or hardware router) has an internet connection and successfully shares it with others, thus was set to 192.168.0.1
I set the Linux machine to have 192.168.0.2, NetMask to 255.255.255.0, GateWay to 192.168.0.1, network restart but it does not connect to net...
When i type ifconf eth0 it says:

Code:

eth0 Link addr: 192.168.0.2 Bcast: 192.168.0.255
...
Collisions: 0 txqueuelen: 1000
RX bytes: 0 (0.0b) TX bytes: 21312 (20KiB)

So it looks like the card is working OK, but it does not get to gateway. Any help?

can you display the command you are using??

Well, not really. I use Mandriva Control Center for this.
But maybe it would be better to use Console. What command would you suggest?
