[newbie] .login problems.
Hi! I read somewhere that you can put commands in the .login file in a user home dir. When a user logs in those commands will be executed. Whatever I try, when I login the .login file isn't processed :-( HELP ;-) Greets, Drosera! Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft? Go to http://www.mandrakestore.com
[newbie] Internet sharing problems.
Hi! A few days ago I got my Internet connection working under Mandrake. Now I want to share my Internet connection with my other PC. Under Windows XP it is working correctly so the hardware setup is okay. I can't use the Internet from my second PC I can however ping 192.168.0.1 (The server) and even better I can ping the 2nd network card which is installed in the server from the client! I even can do a ping to www.google.com for example the name is translated to an IP-address (is that the DNS server???) but the ping doesn't come through. So the translation is there but the real ping isn't working :-( Anybody has any ideas? I allready tried the Internet Sharing wizard but that doesn't work :-( Hope on some positive answers :-) Greets and thanks in advance, Drosera. --- Outgoing mail is certified Virus Free.

Re: [newbie] Internet connection problems with 8.2
Stop the press, my Internet connection is working under Linux!!!, just disable the sound card in my bios and that was all.. Strange and I don't understand it. But anyway it works :-) The next step is setting up E-Mail and the Internet connection sharing. Greets and thanks, Drosera. Hi Civileme, Mandrake detects the 3c509 on a wrong way, it says it's on IRQ 5 and I/O 220. This is not true, it is on IRQ 10 (5 is my soundcard) and I/O is 0x2E0 when I change it manually it is talking about modprob and isa-pnp. Is it trying to reload the network driver in memory??? But with wrong parameters? In my BIOS I changed the PnP and assigned IRQ 10 to my ISA slot (have only 1 ISA card and slot). I tried another network card but that doesn't work togerther with my cable modem :-( What now? Greets and thanks in advance, Drosera! --- Outgoing mail is certified Virus Free.

[newbie] Internet connection problems with 8.2
Hi! I guess this question has been answered for 100's of times, that's why I am asking for a good URL :-) which explains in detail how to get Mandrake working with a cable modem and two network-cards, I guess it isn't that difficult? I can't get it to work with the wizards :-( I hope somebody knows a good source :-) Greets and thanks in advance, Drosera! ---Outgoing mail is certified Virus Free.Checked by AVG anti-virus system (http://www.grisoft.com).Version: 6.0.338 / Virus Database: 189 - Release Date: 14-3-2002

Yep, that particular ISA card claims to detect and transmits but on some systems does not receive. If you use internet connection sharing, and the two ethernet cards suggest you are thinking of it, the DHCP server will be activated, the eth0 to local will be 192.168.0.1 (that is what to tell the other machines for gateway address) and you can use the dhcp wizard to specify the address range. That setup will also plug 192.168.0.1 as the nameserver for each of your locals and activate a forwarding DNS on the gateway box. If you are doing this with 8.1, then make sure you go to http://www.linux-mandrake.com/en/81errata.php3 and read it. Tiny Firewall is _not_ recommended; use the other solution, lest you cut your gateway out of NFS/NIS and any possibility of functioning as a fileserver and mailserver without hand modification of the firewall rules.
