I don't have any particular idea : I'm not good at "hardware managing"
but I have two Mandrake installed at home and I only can tell you how I
manage connecting with these two. 

Let's start: 
there is a P3 333MHz with MDK 7.2 and a P4 1.8GHz with MDK 8.2. 
The first one is the gateway. 
usually I configure the network with the tool Linuxconf (I don't know
if  you have it on MDK9....). 
I insert ip address,gateway,dns,hostname etcetc for both machines and
usually all ends well. 
The only thing is that I have a script that I run on the gateway before
connecting for masquerading ( on the other way the gateway will connect
but I want be able to do that from the client). 
If I want to connect I type ifup ppp0 on the gateway shell. 

Probably this won't help you : is only the configuration of a home-made
LAN! 

Anyway if it were a hardware problem you could type dmesg (as root I
think) and you should have all the information about your devices or
type ifconfig eth0 and see if the device is up or down (in this case
type ifconfig eth0 ip_address up)...of course this is only if you have
to route your traffice through your ethernet....
