To All; This is my first post on the mailing list, and certainly not my last. I have been a user of Mandrake since 6.0, but I have been using Linux distros for some time. My first problem is with the Internet Connection Sharing in the Mandrake Control Panel. It worked like a charm in the stable/final 8.0 release, but once I installed the Mandrake Freq that was another story. Firstly, it was erroring out and complaining about missing packages. Once I had that straightened out, it ran through the setup wizard without any hitches, and even finished with "Completed Successfully" but when I try to surf on the other LAN boxes, there is no connectivity. I have made no changes to the LAN boxes at all. They only changes were installing Mandrake Freq vice stable 8.0. Any takers on this one ? =========================== James Munn Ottawa, Ontario, Canada E-Mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ICQ: 72307004 ==========================
