Well here we are guys, this is an email coming from my mandrake system! But I have been in this pos before, but when re-boot, loose it all and no connection again! I am not going to re-boot at this point in time. To get it connected this time, it did not automatically connect on boot, I had to use the wizard again, and then select connect. John, tripple boot system yes. Booting through a program called system commander. Only one nic, only need the one to connect the router/modem.
Here is the ifcfg-eth0 file:- DEVICE=eth0 BOOTPROTO=static IPADDR=10.0.0.1 NETMASK=255.0.0.0 NETWORK=10.0.0.0 BROADCAST=10.255.255.255 ONBOOT=yes and here is the network file NETWORKING=yes FORWARD_IPV4=false HOSTNAME=localhost.localdomain DOMAINNAME=localdomain GATEWAY=10.0.0.138 to me, everything looks good. What do you reckon, re-boot and see what happens? Maybe not be able to get back on again!!!!!!!!!!!!! I like living life on the edge though, so I think I will later today, when I have done a bit more investigating, and some advice from the list. Also, what is the latest kernel for mandrake? I am running the one that came with the distro, 2.4.19-16mdk. If there is a later mdk kernel, I wouldn't mind loading it in, just incase this is a bug in the current one. I went into the mandrake control centre, and used the update software, but it doesn't appear to update kernels, none were listed. This is unless this one is the most current?? The update seems to be a bit buggy as well, it kept on dropping out on the downloads, even though the connection was up and working well. I checked by doing a bit of browsing. Maybe the mirror was a little overloaded at the time, will try later. Just want to make sure I have all updates installed before re-booting. regards Greg
