Product: drakconf
Component: drakconf
Summary: Accidental use of DrakGW causes LAN internet connection
to fail irrepairably
Version: 9.1-6mdk
Platform: PC
OS/Version: All
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: major
Priority: P3
AssignedTo: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
ReportedBy: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Several of my friends had this bug as well in mandrake 9.
If someone with one ethernet card attempts to run drakgw to share internet on a
LAN (dhcp) internet connection, then it results in the internet no longer being
available.
If one attempts to disable Internet Connection Sharing, then one still can't get
online. Also, on reboot Mandrake Control Center reports Internet Connection
Sharing to be still on.
In Mnadrake 9.0 it was possible to get back online after disabling ICS, but on
reboot it would be enabled again.
In the 9.1 RC2 I found that the internet was unaccessable even after manually
disabling ICS.
A linux n00b pointed this out after thinking Sharing the internet connection
would allow him to see other windoze computers on the network. Maybe word this
wizard a bit clearer.
