Just completed a fresh install of Mandrake 8.1. I installed all security fixes, and updated the four draktools for networking. I then attempted to configure my ADSL Modem. After completeing all the info for the configureation, when I hit the reply button the Mandrake Control Center window goes blank. I manually started the the Internet services in the services window and that leads to a error in root something about attempting to change a read only value in tools.pm on line 125. Then configured my good old trusty RP PPPOE and that works in root. However the good low security system will not allow me to configure it for other users.NEED TO GET THIS STRAIGHTENED OUT as the ADSL is going bye bye and Charter Cable is coming out SUNDAY to install cable modem with no LINUX support of course. I have reached the end of knowledge. Mandrake is relatively new to me. 8.0 worked beautifully. All help greatfully accepted. Also Modeprbe does not seem to see the eathernet cards. though eth0! is up and running or this would not reach the net.
