Check your default route. In a root terminal type :- route The last item in the list is your default route. If that does not show your Interface to the Internet, then that is your problem. You can force an interface to be the default by editing /etc/sysconfig/network and adding the line GATEWAYDEV=eth0 (or whatever it is) alternatively if you have a router or something, then declare that to be the default route with GATEWAY=ip_addy_of_router The other possibility is your firewall. The Mandrake Installer is just as dumb in 10.0 as in previous versions and will assume eth0 connects to the Internet and eth1 (or ppp0) is your local network. Check /etc/shorewall/interfaces to ensure the correct interface is assigned to zone 'net' Restart shorewall after any change. derek -- www.jennings.homelinux.net http://twiki.mdklinuxfaq.org
