I have installed Mandrake Linux 9.0 on my server, and am trying to connect a Win2K laptop. I checked the man files (being a newbie) and it showed the Network settings applet in the Control Center. I do not have this. It mentioned that Wizdrake had to be installed, but I cannot find this on any of the install disks. I input network settings in the "LinuxConf" app. Is this sufficient? I am still not able to get an IP address from the server though it appears that DHCP is running. I installed LinNeighborhood, and cannot browse to the laptop. I've even tried reinstalling Mandrake. Any suggestions would be appreciated (and rewarded).

Lets try to take this step by step.

1. Do lsmod and see if your network card module is loading
2. do /etc/init.d/network restart and look for error messages
3. If no errors run ifconfig and see what output you get.

Wizdrake is just a frontend to the config tools so I doubt it would be required. I've never used it. I found it but it's on MandrakeClub, not available from RPMFIND.
