You know, I recently had this problem on my LM9 installation, and never managed to get my router working with it. You probably will, but I could not be buggered trying any more. It beat me like a dog! But this is something I feel Mandrake need to really address, as my Red Hat system configured automatically, be it with a dhcp setting on my router, or using a static address. Never phased it one bit. I have never needed to touch a setting in RH for the internet, and I think this is were mandrake need to be with their install as well. I am waiting and hoping their next release has this all sorted, as I notice a number of people having real difficulty with it, not just me.
