[Techtalk] helphelphelp! (a network yelp)

[Melanie]

I've just spent the last day and a half trying to get
help setting up my internet connection through the
'Mandriva Club' forums and 'Mandriva Expert' online
help (for something that I paid for I'm not terribly
happy about the 'help' I'm getting). It's just NOT
working. I've gotten enough polite directions to RTFM
to last me a while.

I have a copy of Mandriva 2006 which I bought last
summer and just installed yesterday morning. The
graphical network administration tool is very pretty,
but I'm not getting anywhere with it.

Can someone walk me through how to get it to recognize
my ethernet card and set up DHCP for adsl? I'm utterly
lost...

Thanks(:
