Hello!
I tried to configure the connection sharing on Mandrake 9.1. beta 2.
It keeps asking me for installation CD 1. I put the CD, click OK, the
tray closes, the CD spins, it seems to do something, but still stops
and asks for CD1. I tried CD2 just in case it was a typo, but nothing
helps!

Hello,
I have some trouble sharing one ADSL connection (8Mbps)
for a local area network.
I did it at home and it works well. The modem assigns an IP
with DHCP and there is basically no other configuration except
running the connection sharing setup.
Now I am trying to do the same for a school.
