I'm not sure that Mandrake 10 has this issue but it used to be a
problem anyway. Previously one had to "turn off ip6" by
changing which of these lines was commented in /etc/modules.conf

#alias net-pf-10 ipv6
alias net-pf-10 off

New Linux networking commands

ifconfig, route, mii-tool etc. are out of date
The new kids on the block are ip and ethtool.

ip link show                          #list interfaces
ethtool interface                     #list interface status
ip link set dev eth0 name home        #rename eth0 to home
ip addr add 1.2.3.4/24 brd + dev eth0 #add ip and mask(255.255.255.0)
ip link set dev interface up          #bring interface up (or down)
ip route add default via 1.2.3.254    #set default route to 1.2.3.254
