------- Additional Comments From [EMAIL PROTECTED] 2003-02-04 17:52 ------- I've found a semi-workaround for this problem. I'm using 9.1beta3. As a normal user, I am unable to resolve addresses by DNS. However, as root there doesn't seem to be a problem. I messed around with the network settings a bit, and I setup a fixed IP address rather than getting one via dhcp, but I don't think that this made any difference. As regular user, I am able to telnet into my local router using it's IP address, but I cannot connect to anything that requires a DNS check. Again, as root DNS checks aren't a problem. Is there a permission that can be changed to fix this?

The network, sound, and video are all embedded on the motherboard. The network portion, configured as sis900, worked in 9.1 beta 1 but I cannot make a connection in 9.1 beta 2. Also, when I go in the Mandrake Control Center, click on Network & Internet, it shows the state as "up" but the section above that says "Internet Access" "Status: not connected" and a box for "Connect...". If I click on "Expert Mode" 2 new boxes appear, "Configure Internet Access..." and "Configure Local Area Network...". If I click on either of the two "Configure" boxes, I am returned to the main Control Center page! If I click on "Connect...", nothing appears to happen (no dialogs appear, and I'm able to click on other boxes on the page so the UI returned control to me). Also, sometimes when I click on "Network & Internet" I have to Alt+Tab to another application and Alt+Tab back before the screen will update. I tried clicking on the "Wizard..." button, to try to reconfigure the network, and it went through once okay and then started the wizard a second time, and when it got to the hostname page I could not click in the text field. I *could* click "Previous" and did, then clicked "Next" but still couldn't enter any text (and the field was empty, rather than having the "celeron.kenbeal.com" which it had the first time through). I just restarted the Control Center and was able to run the Wizard correctly (and it only ran once). The card is "up" but the status is still "not connected". And if I click on "Connect...", the card goes to "down". One good thing changed between 9.1 beta 1 and beta 2: my sound was not working under beta 1, but is working under beta 2! (The sound is sis 7018 PCI audio.)
