Hi
I used to use an old ISA Network card. I worked ok in older version of
mandrake. I was having problems with it at boot time though saying thing
like bad ip and bad mask until I deliberatly deactivated and reactiveted
it in Drak Connect. When it was conected the transfers to and from a
windows pc were terrible making tightVNC and rdesktop impossible to use.
HAving had enough of this I got a cheep sis900 pci network card I
altered the /etc/modules.conf to reflect that but I still have the same
problem with the bad ip and bad mask. It happens at boot time and when
ever I leave drakconnect in mmc
I've noticed from the logs that it always tries to install the latest
version of bind dhcp server and another 2 other things (which I can't
remember from memory) I checked and made sure I was using the latest
version of all these things which I was.
Does anyone recognise this problem?
I also cannot find the printers on my mum's windows machine (yes they
are shared propperly) I even tried to set them up manually but still to
no avail.
AFAIK I'm using all the latest packages and I have everything I need
installed.
Could someone give me a rundown of all the packages I'd need for it to
auto detect (It did work in 9.1)
Ah yes I can also brouse the PC inquestion using LinNeighbourhood as
long as I'm loged in.
Again packages are urpmid when printerdrake is first started but they
all appear to be installed.
Again anyone recognise this problem?
Thanks for any help / advice offered
Mike
