Hi Magnet, thanks for the reply. Well, I actually found this before I got back
on the 'Net. Otherwise, I also found to my dismay that I couldn't resolve
anything once connected - no e-mail (no Mandrake mailing lists! Gasp! The
horror!!!), no web sites, nada.
I happened to do an "ifconfig" as root and saw that eth0's ip address had been
changed to 192.168.1.1 instead of the hard-wired 192.168.0.1 that I've always
used... I re-ran the network wizard and changed it back. I've not checked my
other comps on the Lan to see if they still have sharing or not.
You would think that it would look at your existing setup and use it, rather
than change things to the point that its crippled.
Again, thanks for the help! :-)
