Now what? Well for one: Your cable-ISP isn't mentioned in the routing table so prolly you don't have internet access other than via ppp....you already knew that didn't you:D I can't quite figure out your eth0:9....maybe your USB connection after all. I've never seen 127.255.255.255 used before. Maybe somebody else has.
Your best bet is (IMHO) to reconfigure the internet yet again. If you've got the cable modem connected to a NIC don't chose the "cable" option but go for the "lan" to configure your connection. Be sure to set your ISP as 'nameserver' and as "default gateway'. Otherwise you won't get far. I gather your ISP uses DHCP (i.e. no fixed addres) so enable that. The host and domain name can be anything you fancy...doesn't really matter. > > By the way...I did download the six bugfix RMPs for "drakxtools" and > "harddrake" that I mentioned in my other post, and burned them to > CD-R.

If you "right-click" on those rpm's you'll be offered the option "open with software installer...", after which you'll be prompted for the root passwd. Otherwise (fastest): As root/su in a console, "cd" to the directory where the rpms are and do: "urpmi name_of_app.rpm" and away it goes!:) In this case the <tab> key is your best friend.....type in urpmi then the fisrt letters of the rpm you want to install and hit <tab>....after which the name will auto-complete. Saves a lot of secure typing:) Good luck, HarM -- Registered Linux User #197998 FSF Associate Member #901 ICQ #146191606 Mandrake HowTo's & more: http://twiki.mdklinuxfaq.org
