Re: [newbie] Internet Connection Prob. SOLVED !!!

Hi Again

Many thanks to everyone who has helped with this problem. It is now solved!

I have no idea what really went wrong, but I eventually solved it by 
reinstalling Mandrake and reloading all my settings etc. - I didn't do 
the original installation myself, so it was a bit hair-raising at times 
when I had to work out which options to select.

Although it has been frustrating, in many ways this has been a useful 
experience as I now know far more about how Mandrake and Linux actually 
work than I would have done if everything had been OK from the start!

Thanks again everybody.

Margot

our hair with a washcloth get a little touchy on the subject.
