Now, my big problem is getting my Internet connection working. Here's the story of that... I have a cable connection. I'm currently using a Linksys external cable modem, which is connected to my computer via USB. I also have a dialup modem, which I only use on those very rare occasions when the cable is down. During my Mandrake installation, when it came to the connection wizard (something like that), it automatically detected two items: winmodem lan It suggested that since these things were already "configured", I should just keep pressing "Next" instead of manually entering data (IP address, etc.). I followed the suggested route, and everything seemed fine. Then...when I got into KDE, and tried to use either email or the browser, I could not connect. I've spent the past half hour in the Mandrake Control Center trying to figure out what's going on with my connection. I also tried the "Wizard" again, and while it did seem to detect my "sis900" device under the LAN configurations, it didn't show my IP address. My IP address is *mostly* static, but it does change now and again...especially if my ISP has problems, and things need to be re-set. So...I think I'd like to start over fresh with this connection configuration. I hope I've given enough information here. Please tell me if you need something more specific. Thanks! - -- Melissa PGP public keys: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]&Body=Please%20send%20keys -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- iD8DBQE/uuCFjVbXUvsE8ukRAhCPAJ0boIF+eY906q0RLpOBAYEfsEUZ1gCgnlMa QD7D/ZJ4xSc0FM0DnGoayWI= =vKwb -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
