Mandrake's "drakconf" is what you are looking for, in the Network & Internet section, DrakConnect, which can be opened directly as "drakconnect". Using this tool you can change your LAN settings from DHCP to static ip easily. Or you can sit down with a book learn all about ifconfig, and a few other tools, which can be more flexible if you want to do something not covered by drakconnect.
