Hey. I just installed mandrake linux 10.1 and it says that my network connection is active yet I am not sure how to set up the internet to work properly, my firewall is off yet it will not ping outside of the local network and I cannot see the other computers on the windows network. Can anyone help? Im using a D-LINK DSL-G604T router through my lan connection. Please help! Thanks, Lee
