Then it went into the configuration menu and it said: IP address: 24.102.7.207 Netmask: 255.255.254.0 Automatic IP (and I checked the button that says [bootp/dhcp] pr1.on.wave.home.com (my hostname) Everything already installed Setting network parameters OK Bringing up Interface lo Bringing up Interface eth0 Determining IP information for eth0 failed [FAILED] Everything already installed Then back to root. This seems to tell me that Mandrake isn't seeing my NIC (or so I think). Can anyone tell me what the problem MIGHT be? What is is saying is that your NIC is not the internet connection. In order to have more than one internet connection, you need to use DrakProfile to set up multiple profiles. If you during install set up the NIC first than added a normal modem (not a cable modem), this would be exactly what would happen. The NIC would be assumed to be a local netwiork connection and the modem the internet connection. To do this properluy, remove ALL interfaces then put just the NIC back and let that be yuour internet gateway. Draknet was set up this way because many customers use a Mandrake system as a gateway to the internet for other local machines--sharing an internet connection. The easiest way is to reinstall in this case, and make sure you talk to Draknet in its interface window during install and install ONLY local network. The current Beta has a Draknet that removes manyu of the restrictions of 8.0 including the one you speak of. Civileme QA Team
