Make sure the local network is using a non routable address. Something like 192.168.1.x (Do not use 0 or 255 as the last number) but what about this number, above...what do i use? Follow what derek said cept get rid of shorewall...it fucking BITES Dead donkey dick ! you want a firewall? Get Bastille or Firestarter or Guarddog...anything but shorewall... i've heard nothing but garbage about that silly thing. -- Femme *** *Using Evolution on * *Mandrake 9.1 Loving it!* Suck it M$hit!

Just go thru the steps to install software on your system using the GUI, and there will be a text field you can fill in what you want to search for, and type in wizard - should only bring up one option, install that.

First, it is quite possible that the cd size would show something bigger if it is using 1000K per MB instead of the proper 1024. Second, to make sure the iso is good before you try to download it again, there is a file on the mirror called md5sum. in there is a checksum from a program called md5sum. You can get a copy of this utility free on the Internet and use it against your iso. then compare the output from your iso to the file from the mirro. If they match, your iso is good. If they don't, you need to get a new copy of the iso. If you were already running linux, there is a utility called rsync which you can use to only download the part of the iso that is bad, but I don't think there is a windows version available, but I may be wrong. -- Greg Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

Maybe that can be version 2. If DSL is working from W2K, all you need to do is switch on internet connection sharing there and then set the address of that machine as the gateway for your linux box. You can set the gateway address using the control center, using the internet connection wizard. You will also need the address(es) of the DNS inserted into a file called: /etc/resolv.conf It should look like: nameserver xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx nameserver xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx The first address is that of the primary DNS, then the secondary. You can have as many of these as your ISP provides. That's all that's required, but as said above, it would make a lot more sense to front-end with linux. Is your DSL modem ethernet connected or USB?

If you have an old Pentium kickin around with just a floppy drive, that's all you need. There are plenty of kickass floppy-based Linux firewalls you can snag for free. 2. Done. or: 1. Configure your Mandrake box as a firewall/router/NAT which is a lot more complicated and time consuming, IMHO, but will teach you lots about how firewalls, NAT, and routing work. There should be an internet connection sharing wizard in MCC though, I am not sure if it takes care of all that. I *always* recommend a dedicated firewall/NAT, no foolin around, learn IPTables later.
