Is your internet connection static or dynamic?
 
Mandrake should have set up the connection, if you configured it during the install.
 
I assume that there is a lan card on your system, connected to the router, noy via a USB modem?
 
Go to a terminal window, as root user and type in ifconfig (hit the enter key)
 
See if you get a response on eth0 and an IP address.
 
If possible, post the results.
