Problems with the internet...

[beverage]

I'm trying to set my internet connection up in mandriva 2006. (I just installed this morning ) For the most part I'm a linux noob, can anyone tell me the procedure for setting up an internet connection (I think it's like eth0) in mandriva 2006? I'm using an ethernet cord, not wireless by the way.

can you give us a better idea of how you connect to internet e.g.:
internet -> modem -> ethernet card -> my PC
or
internet -> modem -> router -> ethernet card -> my PC

yeah sorry, it was a rather newbish post :P Anyway, my internet is set up as follows:

"Internet" -> Router -> HUB -> My PC

EDIT: after looking at the back of my computer, it doesnt go into an ethernet card or something, it just goes right to the ethernet port on my motherboard.

Well, I figured it out, I misclicked at setup and gave it the wrong type of internet connection... it was as simple as that... it needed to be setup as cable... lol... well, the mcc turned out to be handy today oh well, just let this thread die
