Stew, It was the X Font Server. I disabled it by accident in linuxconf. X Works fine now.
Next problem, I installed the Mandrake Internet Connection Sharing server, and it works. i need to know a couple of things though: is there a firewall installed by default ? where would I find the script for it if there is one, and if not, how would you recommend adding one (I have a cople of scripts that I can use, I just don't know where to add them) Also, I need port forwarding for a couple of ports (vnc and FTP first of all), how do i add this functionality ? Is there a graphical tool for this ? Thanks, and merry Christmas!
