Hi Anton when connection sharing with XP it uses a dhcp server that will give the ME box its IP, gateway details. If you want to offer the same conectivity for the ME machine when running in Mandrake you will need to set up a dhcp server and proxy. Or if you have an old clunker lying around set up IPcop on it and fix all your probs.
