[newbie] Internet Configuration bug
Dear Civilme: Just wanted to report a minor but critical bug in the Internet Connection Configuration. It happens both during Install and when trying to configure Internet Connection from scratch in the Mandrake Control Center. This little bug caused me no end of confusion and agony when I first tried to configure my Internet Connection in LM 8.0. Here it is: I have two NIC cards on my system: eth0 (3c905b) and eth1 (Syslink "tulip"). I connect to the Internet through eth0 and my LAN then connects my computer 1 to computer 2 by means of eth1. The bug occurs if you choose to let LM 8.0 detect your NIC cards AUTOMATICALLY. In my case, it selects "LAN" for my configuration. That's wrong. I do not connect to the Internet on computer 1 through LAN but through DSL. When I accepted this "official" detection by LM 8.0 and tried (several times) to configure my LAN, I then found it impossible to install Internet Sharing. I was very confused and almost gave up on Internet Sharing. But then I decided to go against this "official" detection and chose DSL, which brought up BOTH eth0 and eth1, configured eth0 for my Internet Connection and completed my Install. Then, when I booted up, both eth0 and eth1 were recognized, logged into KDE and clicked on "Internet" (Network Monitoring), which connected me to the Internet using my ADSL eth0. Once I was online, I went into Mandrake Control Center, skipped Internet Connection altogether, went directly into Internet Sharing and used the Wizard to configure my LAN. The Wizard reported that it would set up my LAN using my eth1 (tulip). Right on the money. It then automatically downloaded and installed all the necessary files and, bingo, in seconds, my second computer was connected to the Internet using ADSL. The point is that the automatic detection thoroughly confused me. I just assumed that LM 8.0's Wizard knows better than me what ought to be configured at this staqe. And LM 8.0's Wizard in this case was DEAD WRONG. I wanted to let you know so that this bug can be fixed or else some text be added to the configuration of Internet Connection AT THIS CRITICAL JUNCTURE of the Install. That's it. All my thanks for a great job and a great distro. Benjamin -- Sher's Russian Web http://www.websher.net Benjamin and Anna Sher [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: [newbie] Internet configuration for Mandrake 7.0
The MAC comes from a set of numbers/letters that each manufacturer gets for their hardware. This gives each card (ethernet for example) a unique address that is programmed into the firmware of the card and is traceable to the manufacturer. It is the fundamental address used in routing. Unless the manufacturer is kind enough to post the MAC address on the device, the only way I know to find it is with a sniffer.

Re: [newbie] Internet configuration for Mandrake 7.0
Couldn't of said it better myself ! However, it seems that MAC's are also built in to cablemodems, as well as NIC's, and different ISP's are pulling (polling?) the MAC's from either one or the other piece of equipment, depending on their system. I guess it's just a different version of ISDN routers which use a programmable PCMCIA card to maintain an IP number for their router.

Re: [newbie] Internet configuration for Mandrake 7.0
Dear Patty; Of course you are not concerned about a MAC address. DSL technology doesn't rely on MAC addresses to establish an ISP connection. Only CABLEMODEM's require it. DSL is done on the phone lines, and you require a piece of software to do it with, ie; Winpoet, PPPOE, and /or possibly a "Dial-up" connection. That software is the way you "Log-on" to your ISP. A MAC Address is how cablemodem providers identify their customers from someone esle's customer. The discussion that ensued was in regards to which piece of equipment (Network card versus cablemodem), actually contains the MAC address that the cablemodem ISP's use. It seems that depending on the ISP, the MAC address is pulled from one or the other. Thats the facts!

Re: [newbie] Internet configuration for Mandrake 7.0
Mifune; Your ISP (Internet Service Provider) set up your cable modem with one specific network card. The first thing to remember is that you MUST use that network card ! Each network card ( No matter who built it ), has a distinct MAC ( Machine Access Code ). That code is only used on your card. It is not transferrable to another card and it is how your ISP identifies your computer when you're connecting. I just learned this the hard way 2 days ago. There is almost nothing to configure in Mandrake. Go to Drakconf, Network Configuration, find your NIC (Network Interface Card). You don't need to put anything in for Host Name + Domain, or Alias. Make sure that the "Enabled" button is turned on (Pushed in), and make sure that you've selected DHCP as well. That should do it. You can also enter your DNS numbers which you will find on your ISP's web-site. If you have all of that configured, everything should be fine. Make sure that you have not enabled ADSL, PPPOE, or ISDN anywhere is Drakconf. At the worst, you may want to reboot, just to make sure everything is O.K. That's all. - Original Message - From: Mifune To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Sunday, August 20, 2000 4:59 PM Subject: [newbie] Internet configuration for Mandrake 7.0 Hi, I have installed Linux Mandrake 7.0 on my computer.

I think clicking on "Basic Host Information" will get you to the dialog box you need. > I have installed Linux Mandrake 7.0 on my computer. > I would like to configure my internetconnection using a cable modem. > The only information to do so that I found concerns Mandrake 6.0 > This tells me to go to control panel, select network configuration (of course), > and then select interfaces. > But the network configuration panel of Mandrake 7.0 gives me no such option. > I get the options: Basic host information, Name server specifications, Routings and >gateways, Host name search path, NIS, IPX interface and PPP/SLP/PIP. > Can somebody help me? -- Anthony http://binaryfusion.net Computers are not intelligent.
