Sounds like you don't have your default route set. Run ``netstat -rn'' and see if anything is listed as ``default''. If not, you'll have to figure out how to add it. I don't know what file Mandrake uses to set this on boot, and I can't remember the syntax for the route command under Linux (it's the one standard Unix command that varies wildly from Unix to Unix, but it might be ``route add default gw <router>''). Try grepping for ``route'' and ``default'' in /etc/rc*, etc. You'll find it.
