Check your gateway and DNS entries. Use the command "route print" in a DOS prompt window. Copy and paste the contents back so we can see what is going on. What operating system?

Try doing ifconfig and examine the output, which will look something like this:

hermes:~# ifconfig
eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:50:DA:BB:91:FA
inet addr:12.217.5.32 Bcast:255.255.255.255 Mask:255.255.248.0
inet6 addr: fe80::250:daff:febb:91fa/10 Scope:Link

RX bytes:3572231476 (3.3 GiB) TX bytes:204161349 (194.7 MiB)
Interrupt:11 Base address:0xfc80

Also check to see if dhclient is running (the DHCP client daemon) by doing ps aux | grep dhclient. I'm not that familiar with Mandrake, but you can configure eth0 to have a static IP with ifconfig (see the manpage).

Also, check to make sure another machine doesn't already have the IP you were previously using if you're on a LAN.
