I've asked this a few months ago, but not much activity from respondents then, so I'll ask again (and maybe someone could help out, thanks) First, I'm a novice to Linux and this software. I originally downloaded and purchased 2.0.5, installed it a Win95 box, configured it, made the diskette and it worked fine. When 2.1.0 came out I downloaded it and installed in onto another Win95 computer (to keep the old version in case of trouble). I opened my original STN diskette from version 2.0.5, made no changes and saved in onto another diskette. Wanting the new web controls and the possibility of setting up a web server. I booted this new diskette on the same box and it couldn't find the 3com card for the outbound connection to the cable modem ( which was found on 2.0.5 and working fine). Ended up needing to change the known irq address to auto on the configuration. Resaved and it found the card. But, I could never get it to connect to Mediaone (cable modem). On version 2.0.5, I would see: Starting S50dhcpd.... Waiting up to 60 seconds for network information.... (this would hang for about that long and then display) Starting S60masq.... Starting S70named... Starting S80dcpd Starting S90Admin and I would have an internet connection. But in 2.1.0 it would just fly through the lines. On the cable modem I can see the pc connection light come on but I can't get out to the net. I can get to the configuration screen through the intranet and I can login an access configuration settings (which just says that the intranet is working). But unable to connect to the net. When I press ALT+F2, I can see information regarding unable to make the connection and no response from their servers. (I can copy down the exact message if someone would think that would help). What changed in 2.10 that isn't in 2.05? I'm back to running 2.0.5 (really with no complaints) but would like to be able to understand why 2.1.0 is giving me such trouble. I tried adding and removing dhcp and dns but to no avail. I noticed that on 2.10 if you check dhcp a dialog box opens in lower left hand corner with information to be filled out but this doesn't appear in 2.0.5. Maybe I need this info filled out? But when I open the 2.0.5 disk into 2.1.0 this information was blank (but again 2.0.5 didn't need this to work). Any suggestions would be most appreciated. Mediaone is supposedly going to switch to Roadrunner in my neck of the woods and thought I had read somewhere in the support that there has been trouble with Roadrunner and STN. Any news on this as well or how one configures for this would be helpful.
