In that case, since Mandrake's Internet connection sharing feature is incompatible 
with the current kernel, how do I disable it?  I get several errors every time I boot 
my computer, one with the DHCP server, one with the service "Setting up local network 
broadcast route..." (or something like that), and possibly others.  I don't want these 
errors to continue.

When I select the "Internet connection sharing" feature in DrakConf, all it asks me is 
whether or not I would like to set it up.  It doesn't ask me if I would like to enable 
it or disable it, only whether I would like to enable it or cancel (do nothing).  Has 
anyone else managed to figure out how to disable Internet connection sharing?  I'm 
beginning to think that Mandrakesoft forgot to include this vital feature!!
