We are now the proud owners of three Mandrake-Linux computers in a two person house. My trusty P3-500 on 8.2, the old p1-100 on 7.1, and now a new cheap preloaded beast (well kitty) from DSE here in New Zealand running 9.0 download.
Tried connecting the new one to the net and am having results sort-of. It connects but refuses to load a web page. I am resonably certain it is not DNS resolution because the reported automatic servers both match the ones i am using on this box. From this /var/log/syslog (below) i wonder if the fault may be that the address supplied by the ISP over the 56k link is not being used when requesting pages and that the default localhost address is? Any ideas apreciated.
