First, make sure the network cable is plugged into the card. Most cards
have a green light when it is plugged in, as does the medium you're
plugging into (hub,switch,router,dsl gateway, etc..)
Make sure you have a route to the gateway setup.
netstat -rn will give you this output. look at the line for the
default gateway which should look something like this:
Internet:
Destination Gateway Flags Refs Use Netif
Expire
default 192.168.0.100 UGSc 6 4 en0
or
Kernel IP routing table
Destination Gateway Genmask Flags MSS Window
irtt Iface
0.0.0.0 192.168.0.1 0.0.0.0 UG 40
0 0 eth0
I don't know if mandrake installs a firewall off the get-go, make sure
that pings are enabled at the firewall level. Aside from your gateway,
the next best thing to try to ping are your nameservers, you can find
them in /etc/resolv.conf.
cat /etc/resolv.conf
Last, try to do a `host` on a website address
host www.yahoo.com
If you get a list of addresses, your able to query your nameserver and
all should go well.
