Well, the ldp (Linux Documentation Project) is the "canonical" source for HOWTOs -- try www.linuxdoc.org. If you are looking for HOWTOs in a more general sense, try this page: http://twiki.org/cgi-bin/view/Wikilearn/LinuxResources. So far these are mostly focused at the newbie level. I have a few other similar pages aimed at specific subjects, like EmailResources. Not much that would help you with your networking question, IIRC. And, learn to use Google. It's easy enough, but you have to develop a knack for framing a good query. Aside: The page listed above is one of the pages on Wikilearn, which I hope will one day be a good source of "How to" information. > > In the meantime, why is it that I can't ping my new Mandrake installation.

So, presumably you can ping from the new Mandrake system to the MSWindows box hosting the internet sharing? But you can't ping from the Windows box back to the Mandrake box? Do you have a firewall installed? Where? Maybe it's blocking the ping? (I'm not sure -- I think my firewall (ZoneAlarm) will block pings.) Randy Kramer
