Hello, I just made the switch from Fedora core 1 to Mandrake 9.2. However Mandrake does not seem to set up my dhcp stuff the way redhat or Fedora used to. I cannot connect to the internet at all. I'm using a PC I built with an AMD Athlon XP 3000+, 512 MB of RAM, Linksys 10/100 NIC, and it is connected to a Linksys 4 Port Router. Normally, windows and Red Hat would take the nameserver info and all from the router Mandrake does not seem to do this. It see's the NIC, I'm just not sure if it's getting out to the router. When I try to ping the router it says the connection is unavailable. It is dhcp because I have my router setup as a dhcp server and it automatically acquires nameserver addresses and all that. RedHat and Fedora accept the info from my router no problem and I'm up and running on the internet on first boot. I don't know why Mandrake has a problem with this. This is supposed to be one of the user friendly versions of Linux. Slackware(not so user friendly) recognized and accepted the incoming dhcp even.
