Hey,
Is anybody else having trouble with VNET? I can't get it to work.
I was lulled into a false sense of security with the spiffy new installer.
The kernel, package, and System Wide installation was flawless on my
Mandrake 8.0 computer.
When I tried to do the Personal install however, it got ugly quick. It would
almost finish installing, and then it appeared as though I was compiling a
few kernels at once. The border of a message box popped up, and after a few
minutes "The VM86 process has died" appeared. I waited another 1o minutes or
so for a button to pop up with no luck. The computer was almost entirely
locked. I couldn't even switch to a virtual console. Eventually I gave up
trying to be nice and tried killing X. Surprisingly, that worked, and it
cleared up whatever problem I was having.
So I went through a few iterations of that. Then I checked the support
database, and an article suggested that VNET might be the problem. Sure
enough, that was it, and it installed like a champ using Winsock networking.
The alleged work around wasn't, unfortunately. I can play around as much as
I like with the networking. The merge NIC seems to work OK. All of the
protocols except TCP/IP install OK but don't work. Whenever I try to install
TCP/IP Win4Lin blows up and I have to kill X.
It's kind of depressing, really. I was really looking forward to V3.0. Not
only did I get the free upgrade from V1.0, but I went ahead and bought a
whole new copy as well.
So, does anybody out there have any suggestions? I've submitted a bug
report, but I've tried that route before without much success.
