I think that the firewall can have an affect on the internet connection. That's why I mentioned it, but it's difficult to say for sure. If you know that the firewall is off than it must be something else. I once messed with the firewall and couldn't get my browsers online.

I don't know anything about networks but I remember at the install that you have to make one computer a client, the other a server. There were client packages and server packages. So you have a domain server? You created a domain name for the client, so that the server can recognize it?

Installing Linux as part of a domain would be more difficult than just doing a ordinary style install. It might require some actual reading. I have three computers (3 separate ethenet cards) and my cable modem all hooked up on one hub, and using the same IP (even though I used DHCP during install) and everything worked well on Mandrake 9.0 with no special configuration necessary, but if I had a domain server and I was integrating a Linux client, than that might be a different story. As far as I can tell, this is what you are saying. Oh well, sorry I can't find the answer, but it would be nice if you could hurry up and figure it out.

Type: (ls /lib/modules/2.4.19-16mdk/kernel/drivers/net/ )
And see if your network card is listed.
