Re: [newbie] HELP! WinXP

This is stressing me, obviously. I've mailed microsoft but they replied with the usual contact computer manufacturer or check this site, so no much help from them.

[newbie] Internet Connection and NIC's
Ok. I am up and running on the internet under my linux machine. A friend gave me an internal hardware modem and i can now dial up and surf. But i wasnt until i removed the nic in my machine. It kept wanting to port out thought the nic to get to the internet. i would like to reinstall it and start a home network but could not get around this problem. Can anyone tell me how i can configure it to support both connections? I'm running LM 8.1 Thanks, roy Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft? Go to http://www.mandrakestore.com
[newbie] X
Ok. Here is the deal. I am working on computer for my friend. Here are the specs: Athlon 1Ghz CUP Via Motherboard 512 MB RAM S3 Savage 4 video (on board) ESS modem (winmodem) I have installed Mandrake 8.1 so many times I can count them all. His pc kit (including cpu, mb, case) came with Red Hat 7.1, so we tried that. Guess what?! The second CD is BLANK! No go on that one. So some one told me about the 'setuptool' command. I installed MDK 8.1 again and used the 'setuptool' option. No go on that one. The Red Hat booklet stressed the fact to use the generic SVGA drivers. So I used the generic drivers under 8.1. No go. Just a flashing screen on boot. I have to get it working. Any ideas Thanks Roy Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft? Go to http://www.mandrakestore.com

The book that come with is kit says to install the Generic SVGA drivers, but the install does not allow it to work. Any ideas? PLEASE HELP I've reinstalled 8.1 6 times trying to get it to work. Thanks Roy Roy,since X isn't working you can do this from the command line by typing as root "setuptool". From the menu list that comes up you then choose "display configuration." If that doesn't work then you may want to rerun the install process but this time instead of formatting and installing all the packages again just choose to "not" format any partitions and select "no" packages to install. this will take you to the installation and setup of the display. instead of choosing to directly support the monitor by brand and model try choosing something like "Generic Multi-sync refresh rate 74hz that can do 1024 x 768". Use the XFree86-4.1.0 3D Accelerator package when it asks you which version of X you want to install.that should get you running. Frankly, if you're having as much trouble as you're describing the last method i've outlined here is probably your best bet.good luck,-- MarkRegistered Linux User 182496Mandrake 8.1- 1:05pm up 1:29, 2 users, load average: 0.72, 0.80, 0.72 Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?
