I am using Mandrake 8.0. I just got hooked up to cable. I got an SMC 1211TX ethernet card and an RCA DCM245R modem. I was able to get the connection working by using Draknet in the Mandrake control center, but there is a problem. On boot, there is a message that says: "Bringing up interface eth0: Delaying eth0 initialization Failed" There is no connection made during boot. I can connect by going into the Control center and into internert connection configuration area and clicking on "connect". But after doing this none of the shortcuts on my desktop will work. Programs won't load. I can fix this by loging out and logging back in again.
By the way the info given about the connection is Type: cable interface: ppp0 status: not connected Any help appreciated. Thanks, SW
