LOL.
are you using DCHP to assign each of yr computers' an IP?
Try delete the lan card driver, or take it out the lan card, reboot, till harddrake confirm its removal, reboot again, turn it off, then replug back the lan card to the machine. finally reinstall it by harddrake.
Dunno If this could help or not! LOL :o
Good luck to ya mates!Signature removed by moderator - please see forum rules

In any other case, could you post the output of "/sbin/ifconfig -a" and "route -n"?

It means that the network card isn't being used at all. How have you configured it?
First of all, are you using DHCP to get an IP address, or are you using static addresses? In any case, use Mandrake's network configuration tool to configure the card properly.

Sorry, but I haven't used Mandrake, so I can't do that. Let's hope that someone else who has Mandrake sees this thread and can help you.

perhaps my recommendation was not a good idea, I noe it sounded a pain in the neck, but have you tried that out? see the reason? the network card just wasn't installed properly!

From your screen shot, we can see your ethernet card ( eth0 ) has no IP address assigned to it. Have a look at the "lo" interface and you'll see
which tells you your lo (loopback) interface has an address of 127.0.0.1Code:inet addr:127.0.0.1
You need to assign an address to your ethernet card. If you are using DHCP, try
Tell us what happens after that. Also check the output of ifconfig and see if your eth0 has been assigned an IP address.Code:# dhcpcd eth0
