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
