best option:
get newer version for updated drivers
( mandrake is releasing 10.2 soon, 9.2 is 2 years old. )
complete install, not upgrade.
open a console window ( through menu options of running default kde )
or, in config options, select graphics option to not start gui automatically.

I did not fully understand your problem, but from what I understood is that you are tyring to ping from the Linux box to another machine - the ping command works in Linux, you need to open the konsole, but you may need "su root" and try it as the root user.
