Re: [newbie] Ethernet and DSL
hey, 7.1 will change your subnet mask to 255.255.0.0 if you configure your ethernet card during install. It might be that simple. It was for me a few times ;-) Bombardier Systems Consulting wrote: Brian, I recently installed 7.1 and had problems that folks here helped me with.

Re: [newbie] Ethernet and DSL...do this first
Brian, I forgot to pass on the install info that I was given for DHCP if it is not already installed. These are the instructions given to me. Sounds like you did an automatic install under Mandrake. The automatic install does not install the dhcp client. You had to do that manually. You give no indication of which (if any) Window Manager you use so: Login as root put the initial installation cd in the cdrom drive. From the command line type 'cd /mnt/cdrom/Mandrake/RPMS' Then type 'rpm -i dhcp-client-3.0b1pl12-4mdk.i586.rpm' Then type 'shutdown -r now' Sorry I did not send this with my earlier message...this needs to be done before the other for it to work. - Original Message - From: "Brian Jacob Rogers" [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: "Newbie" [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Saturday, October 28, 2000 7:38 AM Subject: [newbie] Ethernet and DSL Hi all, I am a real newbie to trying to set this up.
