I'm having trouble configuring an ADSL connection for my home network with DrakConf. I have two computers and one ADSL modem connected to a hub (AOpen 5-port Ethernet Hub). It would be better if two machines could use the modem independently. I have configured the Internet connection using DrakConf and all the routing configuration appears to be reset whenever the adsl service is started. This is no good because those computers cannot reach each other anymore. I have to do /etc/rc.d/init.d/network restart in order to restore my routing configuration. I put /etc/rc.d/init.d/network restart in /etc/rc.local, so I don't have to run that command manually. It doesn't seem to be the smartest solution, but it works. But the problem is that Mandrake Linux configuration tools don't seem support sophisticated LAN configurations... Is there a smarter solution that can be used by people who need point-and-click instructions? I can edit my start-up scripts, but I know many people who can't...
