[PLUG] Mandrake Networking: pppoe & smb

[Art Alexion <art.alexion@verizon.net>]

I recently installed Mandrake in a partition on my [smooth functioning, 
but elderly] red hat machine.  Everything good (after I fixed the way it 
hosed my existing grub configuration after promising not to).  Even KDE 
3.1 runs smoother and faster than KDE 3.0 on the red hat 7.3 install.  
But...

I can't get the Mandrake networking configurator, DrakConnect, nor 
trusty linuxconf, to set up the Ethernet cards so that I can connect to 
DSL or my Samba network.  Is there a tool or trick that anyone can suggest?
