I don't usually use graphical configurators, but I tried Draknet. Here it gets weird. I opened Mandrake Control Center, Network and Internet, Connection. Under the Internet Connection tab, I hit connect, and the kppp dialer box came up. I connected and got an error message "The system doesn't seem to be connected to the internet, please try to reconfigure your connection". I hit the expert mode box and a window popped up. Under "login ID" was the friendly name of my IP. Under "password" was the friendly name of my IP. I tried to change them, but I couldn't (I can highlight, but not edit). I cannot delete that particular profile, either. In fact, I can't do anything in that window but highlight. I was able to edit (and delete) my LAN configuration. Is this a bug? eryl
