Setting up your network under Linux (generic instructions) This should apply to most Linux distributions, not just Mandrake.
/sbin/ifconfig eth0 up 192.168.1.101 netmask 255.255.255.0 (required)
/sbin/route add eth0 default gw 192.168.1.1 (optional)
This setup assumes you are on a network without DHCP, and that you want to
assign your computer a static internal IP address of 192.168.1.101 (all machines
on your network must also have IP addresses of 192.168.1.* too ).
The second statement is optional, but needed if you have a gateway on your
network (such as a hardware router, made by companies like Linksys or Netgear ).
The IP address is often 192.168.1.1, but does not have to be.
