I did it!!!!

Just wanted to thank everyone again, I'm connected now though Mandrake 7.2. I didn't realize that the "Internet Connection Sharing" tab in Drakeconf would do everything for me. Two clicks later I tried http://www.yahoo.com and it worked. For those of you who have working NICs, try that tab! Happy Linux user here. :)

Congrats...

I use Caldera's eDesktop 2.4 and never have had any networking problems. The install always detects my nic or pcmcia, then enter ip address, dns etc. and after the install is complete, I'm on the web.
