OK Here's the situation: I am clueless with Linux (You're Shocked, I know): Anyway, I installed my Mandrake over a clean Dos 6.22 on a P200/128MB. No Problems there. I have a Win98 PIII/500 that is hooked to my cable modem. I have a static IP for each box and the modem is Currently setup like this: Wall --> Cable Modem --> 4 port Hub --> PIII/500 This works fine. I want to have: Wall --> Cable Modem --> 4 port Hub --> Win98 PIII/500 |-> Linux P200 All cables work, but I cannot get my Linux to read anything. I can't find anything about setting up the "Cable Network" connection. I am lost. I put all the info for DNS, IP, etc. as best I could, but I don't think I did it right. Is there a complete step by step for setting this Linux box on a network. I know no Unix, but I will pick it up quick. I am (was) half way through my MCSE, so I understand Networking in M$ fine, but this Linux is confusing the hell out of me. Someone, PLEASE HELP. I need this online by the weekend. :( Thanks in Advance. -Rob "My philosophy, in essence, is the concept of man as a heroic being, with his own happiness as the moral purpose of his life, with productive achievement as his noblest activity, and reason as his only absolute." ______________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free Email at http://www.hotmail.com
