Ahh, using DHCP.

 From tldp.org, I found that on Mandrake you need to add the following 
lines to your /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth1:

DEVICE="eth1"
MACADDR="00:00:00:00:00:00"
DHCP_HOSTNAME="hostname"

Obviously you need to use your own MAC address. You should also set 
BOOTPROTO to 'dhcp' in ifcfg-eth1 like:
BOOTPROTO=dhcp

Mandrake uses a program thats config file requires a MAC address, 
which is why your error message was asking for one.

You can get the MAC addresses with 'ifconfig -a' or with the Apple 
System Profiler under OS 9.
