[newbie] Monitors and video cards
Is it possible to set a specific scan freq for a given resolution? The Control Center/Display doesn't allow this that I've seen. /*===*/ There are three types of lies... lies (You'll never need more than 64K), damn lies (Windows is more stable than Linux), and press releases (It will be released as scheduled).

That file just contains the DNS servers (even after a reboot). If it doesn't have the right stuff there, it also could frustrate your resolver. The hosts file contains the loopback IP and my machine's IP (and their host names). /*===*/ There are three types of lies... lies (You'll never need more than 64K), damn lies (Windows is more stable than Linux), and press releases (It will be released as scheduled).

Re: [newbie] Well, Hell - hey Civileme!
OK let's see the output of /sbin/ifconfig cat /etc/sysconfig/network The KDE tools are perhaps the wrong toolset to be using--in an xterm, try draknet or use the mandrake control center, but better yet, reinstall and use the detection at install time in expert mode (nowhere near as daunting as the 7.2 version). Right there you can put in the IPs of your machine, your gateway and your nameserver and you should have network when you come up. If ever you need to make changes use draknet off a terminal or from mandrake Control center. Everyone who has mixed tools has had problems. Alternatively skip the Network installation in the install process and use linuxconf tools or use KDE tools, but do _NOT_ use a combination of different toolsets. I completely reinstalled (third LM8 install) and I'm right back where I was. I only used the stuff in KDE to configure. I'll reboot into LM and capture the output for the following items and then send another email to the list with the results: ifconfig netstat -rn cat /etc/sysconfig/network /*===*/ There are three types of lies... lies (You'll never need more than 64K), damn lies (Windows is more stable than Linux), and press releases (It will be released as scheduled).

Re: [newbie] Well, Hell - hey Civileme!
As promised, here's the results of running those commandline tools: This is after a clean re-install (including re-partitioning the drive) of LM 8.0. I haven't installed anything else, haven't changed any of the settings from how they were installed, and STILL can't do anything but ping. Also, none of the server stuff was installed, and I did NOT change the list of packages that were installed. So, why can't I browse with a browser (any of them, including lynx), telnet, or use IRC?

[newbie] Well, Hell
After pounding on LM8 for two weeks trying to get something other than ping to work (problems connecting to the internet), I tried reinstalling all over again. No dice, no workee. I guess I'm just not destined to run Linux. /*===*/ There are three types of lies... lies (You'll never need more than 64K), damn lies (Windows is more stable than Linux), and press releases (It will be released as scheduled).

[newbie] LM 8.1 Beta
8.1 beta is out with KDE 2.2 and the 2.4.8 kernel. All of the mirrors have two sets of iso files. Which set should I download? The freq or the raklet version? /*===*/ There are three types of lies... lies (You'll never need more than 64K), damn lies (Windows is more stable than Linux), and press releases (It will be released as scheduled).
