OK, a newbie problem. I installed Mandrake 8.2 Thursday night. Was able to connect to the internet with my Cisco uBR900 cable model (through Adelphia), but only after some fiddling with the Mandrake Command Center (it didn't work immediately after installation).
Today, I was using MandrakeUpdate to download updates. Was able to download many of the "important ones" (security and bugfixes). After they were downloaded, I rebooted my machine (Dell Inspiron 3800 laptop with 196 RAM and 500Mhz). At that point, I lost my internet connection (the number 1 light on the cable modem wouldn't even glow, and no lights flickered on my network adapter); no amount of fiddling would get me a connection through the Mandrake Command Center. Yet when I reboot and launch Win2K, the number 1 light glows, and I get an internet connection... reboot and go linux, the light goes out and no connection. BTW, when I reboot in linux, I get a couple of error messages: the ext2fs file is "out of date"... httpd-perl and httpd fail to launch. Also: I'm running a Xircom CardBus Ethernet 10 56K modem (if that helps). Am I missing something here? ANY help would be GREATLY appreciated. Thanks in advance, bw _________________________________________________________________ Join the world’s largest e-mail service with MSN Hotmail. http://www.hotmail.com
