I have mandrake Linux 9.2 and i connected to my ISP with the following konsole commands and i suppose it should work for you too (for this you have to go to the console and then be a root user).
1) ifconfig eth0 down 2) ifconfig eth0 broadcast [your IP address] netmask 255.255.255.0 3) ifconfig eth0 up 4) route add -net default gw [your ISP's gateway address here] netmask 0.0.0.0 metric 1 that is all .. i was able to connect to my ISP thru these simple steps and also by the client LOGIN Software provided by the ISP.

There are simpler steps than the above that i earlier mentioned :
1) ifconfig eth0 down 2) ifconfig eth0 [your IP Address here] 3) ifconfig eth0 up 4) route add default gw [your ISP's IP Address here or the Default Gateway Address here] That is it
