Did you check and make sure that the firewall was not activated by default. You can check it in MCC. (Mandrake Control Center). Look at "security"and then "firewall" if firewall shows that it is running check the box for allow everything, and then see if you can access. If you get on the internet, then I believe you can go back and uncheck the allow everything and the firewall will come back up but now it should not block access. HTH Dennis M.
