Hi, everyone I'm testing MDK8.1 PROSUITE EDITION and MDK8.2 beta3
with to different computer : athlon 1 GHz, Pentium 233 but same results. 3Com Ethernet card, ISDN, 1) I install Mandrake and configure ethernet and ISDN selecting package : internet, configuration, firewall/gateway,kde,gnome 2) I try the connection from the desktop icon : internet and it told me no connection <<<--- but it's not true because ippp0 is up and if I click again on internet icon it show ok but this is the lucky case is some obscure case when I click on : internet icon an empty window appear forever should be the program : net_monitor --connect waiting .... 3) then I discover che syconfig/net_cnx_up starting it manually my connectio is always ok and I can walk on internet 4) from the control center i configure the connection sharing true 3Com ethernet at the beginning it said nothing configured, after the start said : 1) your ethernet is already configured we need to reconfigure 2) you have a firewall active maybe you need some manual work to configure and I see with : lsmod ipt_MASQUERADE appear but it change the ethernet class from my 192.168.17.100 to 192.168.0.1 I don't understand why but ... I changed other computer IP classes because i cannot change that IP ( 192.168.0.1 ) 5) I fix on client computer static ip, with route to gateway 192.168.0.1 and I see in /etc/resolv.conf nameserver 192.168.0.1 6) doing ping www.mandrake.com on client with tcpdump ippp0 on the gateway I see the requests arriving from client for ISP, but no answer instead if the ping start from the gateway I receive the answer 7) I read a message where a guy said : there is a lot of documentation for these problems I have searched on mandrakeuser.org, on manuals with the packages, on how-to, on mailing lists .... there is a lot of documetation but nothing about this problems I specify that is just a complete new installation, with control center : connection and connection sharing.
