This is happening to me as well. It never happened while using any earlier
version of Mandrake (6.0, 7.0,...). It happens after I've logged onto my
ISP. I've used noauth, but that only works while I am root. As a user, it
tells me that I must be root to use noauth. As well, for the first time, DNS
is useless. Nothing can be found. I tried using ping at a prompt, and it
just waits (looking for a DNS server).
