No not possible. To connect my PC has to send the right host name. Mandrake 
wizard does not accept the "-a" in the nostname provided by the provider. 
Hence no connection possible. 
In 9.0 the name with the "-a" was accepted by the wizard but not so anymore in 
9.1. In my opinion some stupid coding error.

There are other problems with Drakconnect. In my portable with built-in 
wireless and built-in ethernet. Mandrake assings eth0 to the ethernet and 
eth1 to the wireless connection. However, the wizard will only configure eth1 
and is not able to let the user make a choice between et1 and eth0.

My computername, provided by my cable provider, is CC12345-a. The wizard in 
drakconnect accepts only CC12345 and omits the -a. Hence I cann't connect to the 
internet.

Workaround is manually editing etc/sysconfig/network.

Hence mandrake users with internet providers who give out names with a "-" are in 
serious trouble
