Gavin,
Are we to assume that your mandrake is you gateway box? It sounds this
way to me. If it is, do you have your ICS (NAT) confiqured correctly?
Your RH box should be set up with the gateway IP address, and you should
check to see that you have IP forwarding on both boxes, the mandrake and
RH machines. What are you doing for dns? Are you using your ISP's named
server or have you set up a caching only server on the mandrake? Check
your "/etc/resolv.conf", "/etc/hosts", and "/etc/host.conf" files on
both machines. Let us know what these look like.
Maybe I am heading in the wrong direction, and just a bit of
clarification from you might be needed. Hope this is of some help....
