    i have no internet with mandriva 10.1 HELP

    I have just recently installed mandriva 10.1 community and i can't seem to get the network up and running.....i am a windows user and im totally blind when it comes to linux, i have a broadband cable connection, with the cable modem connected to a d-link di-604 router which is connected into a cisco switch....i tried to ping the router and nothing so i bypassed the switch and connected directly into the router and then tried to ping it....still nothing...then i went even further and connected directly to the cable modem and tried to ping that and still nothing. i believe the net card is installed correctly and the drivers are correct....i am dual booting with win xp and i have a connection with windows xp so im thinking it has to do with the linux os possibly or maybe a protocol???? any help would greatly appreciated

    Thanks a bunch
    the windows man

    Have you configured your card within the Mandrake Control Center? There's a good net utility in there that should help sort things out. If you still can't get it up and going, it will help if you tell us what your NIC is. If you don't know, open konsole and type:
    Code:
    /sbin/lspci
    and press enter. Copy and paste the output about your Ethernet card here. While your at it, also post the output of:
    Code:
    /sbin/ifconfig
