Hello: Got a problem. �I was trying to configure my nic using the Mandrake Control Center - Connection. �I entered the information as best I thought. �I am pretty new at Linux and admitedly �some of it was guess work. �After I finished configuring it I rebooted the system. When I tried to re-establish my connection to the internet via my modem the connection was established without any problems. �But now none of my internet applicatons are able to access internet locations. �My email program is timing out, can't access IRC, and web browser also times out. I am able to gain full access again, if and only if I physically remove the nic from the slot in the computer. �I suspect, once the modem connects with the isp, the pc is trying to access the internet via the nic instead of the modem. �It is a theory and the only one I have. With the nic installed, I have tried going back to Mandrake's control center, but when I click on the connection icon, it times out after 15 seconds. �So I can't go back and reconfigure the nic. Can somebody guide me on how to get back to where I was before I tried to configure my nic? �I am very new at this. �I have read some of the documentation on configuring network cards, and establishing lan's (my ultimate goal) but find many of it to deal in generalities. �I have had the system for maybe a couple of weeks and still feel like I am walking blind through a mind field. �Thanks in advance for your help. Regards, Dexter
