[Techtalk] Mandrake 9.0 - networking isues

[Davis, Jennifer]

Hi:
	Normally I'm a Slackware user, but I downloaded the new Mandrake 9.0
this weekend because I like shiny things.  Actually, my motivation was to
try out GNOME 2.0.  I seem to have gotten the OS installed, but for some
reason, I just can't get networking to go.  It won't connect at boot, the
operation times out.  When I go into the Mandrake Control Centre, and go to
the networking option, I click on connect and it times out.  The OS seems to
recognise the card.

The relevant specs on the PC
Motherboard:	K7S6A On-Board Sound
Chip:		Duron 1Ghz
RAM:		256MB
Network:	3C905
Video:		ATI Rage IIc
Sound:		SBLive 5.1
CDROM:	IDE-DVD-ROM on /dev/hdc& IDE-Sony CD/RW on /dev/sd0
Hard Drives	an 8.4GB for Linux and an 850MB for Windows 95 (for Mame)

DualBoot W95/Linux

If there was an error message, I could probably figure things out on my own.
Does anyone have any idea?  I assume it's an IRQ conflict, but I am not sure
as I can't see anything wrong..

Thanks in advance...
