Hi,
I have been having problems trying to connect to the Internet through
Mandrake 7.1.
Mandrake recognizes my NIC card and when it boots up eth0 is in the list
and everything is ok. I must be doing something wrong in the network
config files. I have used netcfg to edit it, but still nothing. Every
time I try to connect or ping a site, all I get is host unknown.
Is there a standard of IP addresses to use? I have used 192.168.1.1 and
still nothing. I have read all the docs, but still nothing. I have use
many examples from magazines and so on.
If anyone has this same problem or if anyone has resolved this issue,
please let me know.
I have a EnterNet SMC adapter. My provider is BellSouth and they don't
support Linux in any form or fashion. When I boot into Windows, I have
to connect from an icon on my desktop to establish the connection, but
in Mandrake, how do I startup my service without that icon? A newbie
question.
TIA,
Ron
