Hi again, 

Well, the cable connection is now working. Just made
the entry for namservers and all set. Now another
problem I am having is that I want to share my
connection with my roommates (they use XP). I run the
internet connection sharing wizard (in Mandrake
Control Center) and it says it's running. Now I am
getting ip address in client computer but they can't
browse any website. I tried to ping some websites and
the URL seems to resolve but I am not getting any ping
replies. Seems like my computer is blocking their
requests. I disabled the firewall and reduced the
security level to minimum, but that didn't solve the
problem. Now get me out of this situation. Thanks. 

Umar
