Hi Anthony. I have a Modemblaster as well, with a NIC...works fine here under
Mandrake 8.2, but I did have to make some modifications.
As root/su I had to go into /etc/sysconfig and edit "network"
Mine looks like this:
NETWORKING=yes
FORWARD_IPV4=true
HOSTNAME=darkforce.com
DOMAINNAME=com
GATEWAY=
GATEWAYDEV=ppp0
This was what my old /etc/sysconfig/network file looked like:
NETWORKING=yes
FORWARD_IPV4=false
HOSTNAME=darkforce.com
DOMAINNAME=com
I can't remember if I had to do a:
service network restart
or not.
Hope this helps!
