Wow! Great idea! No, I cannot. :-((

If so, which one? because that could be part of the problem.
Since Knoppix can see it and Mandrake can't, I suspect firewall issues.
I tried to stop iptables via DrakServices (inside MDK control center), it was already stopped, and shorewall (that was started), and nothing changed.
Then I checked the DrakFirewall page, only FTP and SSH allowed (shorewall was stopped anyway). With shorewall started, should I enable DNS? if I understand the meaning of that page, not: I don't offer DNS services to anyone (just to be sure)
Thanks
