help setting up internet
66082.1
hi all,
I'm trying to configure my mandrake 10.0 distro to connect to the internet. I'm using a ethernet connection from a university lan.Here is my ipconfig /all output from windows with some info modified.

I entered some of this info with drakconnect, gnome gui to configure eth card, but do not know what to enter for ZeroConfig hostname ( don't know what this is about, short explanation would be appreciated ). I then tried to ping my assigned ip addr, which worked, but could not ping my default gateway.
I appreciate this topic has been covered loads but I am a newbie and any help would be recieved gladly. The ethernet card i will use is eth1. How would one do this manually ie from the command line?
Thanks,
James

ifconfig eth1 up
dhclient eth1
