Oddly enough, I had the opposite problem
As soon as I put 8.0 on, I could no longer access the internet through my
lan.
I tried running Mandrake 8.0b2 on one computer, while I left my good Linux
computer running 7.2 (which it is running flawlessly right now). 8.0 can
see and ping all the other computers on my lan, and it can ping through to
my ISP if you specify the ISP's actualy IP address, but I can't access any
webpages by the domain names.
This has been baffling me for quite some time, and I have thus far
attributed it to mandrake being beta, I'll be trying out beta 3 later
this evening, but I'd like to knwo if anyone else has any information
regarding this.
I'm running a Windows NT4 server as a fileserver/proxy through a cable
modem to the internet. Everythign works fine on Windows, and in Mandrake
7.2 on the same machine, but as soon as I try mandrake 8.0beta1 or beta2,
I get nothing on the internet.
Thanks
