I have a cable modem and a small 4 port router hub. I just plugged the cat5 from my lm8.2 machine, into the router/hub and mandrake was able to go one without a hitch (much easier than the win2k machine). But I wanted the two machine to be able to share files. I went through the samba config app (it said if you don't know what you are doing take the default - I took the default). But now I can't get out to the internet. My guess is that samba wants a static ip address not dhcp - just my guess. So I think that part is setup dhcp and part is static and no part of the network works ( I have a netnowork setup appartenly).
Is this fixable so that I can get out using my little router? Or should I try to go back to the way it was before setting up samba? Thanks Rick
