tells me to execute /etc/rc.d/rc5.d/S10network reload...and when I do that it
come back with the error "Bringing up the device dummy0 Can't find a dhcp
client" >
Sounds like you did an automatic install under Mandrake. The automatic
install does not install the dhcp client. You had to do that manually. You
give no indication of which (if any) Window Manager you use so:
Login as root
put the initial installation cd in the cdrom drive.
From the command line type 'cd /mnt/cdrom/Mandrake/RPMS'
Then type 'rpm -i dhcp-client-3.0b1pl12-4mdk.i586.rpm'
Then type 'shutdown -r now'
I how this works (it did for me).
