[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

Quite likely to be an Interrupt conflict. Try seeing if you can force it in the BIOS or maybe the modem has jumpers to select IRQ. derek On Tuesday 25 December 2001 21:38, you wrote: Ok.
