Ah yes I know this would be coming. I used the default mandrake settings. You
know if we don't try the default then how do we really know if it is a
problem the mandrake settings or no.
Really I have spent many hours doing firewalls be hand and I happen to be one
of those that really prefer good GUI tools to do the job when they are
available. So I went to mcc and made sure the network was setup properly then
I used the connection sharing wizard. It all seems to work extremely well
accept for when your connection is down.
I guess maybe after using mandrake since 5.3 I'm getting a little lazy with
the wizards but really this is exactly the same thing any normal user of
today would do and well they will experience the same problems. It's not like
it was when I started when I had to tweak everything to get it just right.
now I will say any of you that simply unplug your ethernet cable on your
connection sharing box will see exactly what it does. Furthermore if I can
be of any help let me know I do not mind being a giny pig to get this problem
corrected for the next release.
