I join the other members' advices, and add my own Mandrake specific:
When you installed the system, did you select 'high security'?
Because if you did, then it might have messesd with several
security-related files (like /etc/hosts-allow).
Try to select using DrakConf(yes it's DrakConf, not MandrakeUpdate -- what
did I take yesterday ?!) the low security option and then install the
security options you want by yourself (if you don't know how, then I guess
you'll just have to learn... anyway they only get in your way right now).
Go to DrakConf and select 'Security Level'.
Also, go to "Startup Services" and check that inetd, httpd are selected,
then reboot and check that while inetd and httpd are loading, they show
"OK" and not "FAILED".
Good luck,
