Hello,
Sorry for not responding to your mail Stephen, I did get it. I have already
uncommented out the line that you mention but I still get the same message. I am
beginning to think that the configuration is not as it should be. I am having a lot
of difficulty get around this problem. My Win98 machine can ping the linux server but
cannot login, my linux machine cannot ping my win98 machine (host unreachable) and the
telnet keeps informing me that it is being closed by the foreign host.
I am new to linux and this is why I was wondering if there were any docs out there
that may be of assistance as I could not find any good ones on the mandrake pages.
Thanks again for your help.
Tom
