So how far have you got? Or it it a case of don't know where to start?
If you give us more details of what you have done (or not) so far we can give 
more advice. Getting basic networking running is your first step.

Don't get hung up too much on the distro; Mandrake will be fine for your 
purposes. Just too much of my personal preferences getting in the way there. 

If you want Internet links to Linux networking documents try:

http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/HOWTO-INDEX/howtos.html

and start with the NET-howto. This document is quite tuff going but I guess 
you would expect that for a fairly large (and sometimes fairly complicated) 
topic.

I never use RTFM - it's the best way to newbies off Linux (followed by 
Scarborough Digest, Vol 28, Issue 1 ;)
