Thanks in advance Check Drakconfig, networking, NIS, and make sure it has your Internet Service Providers domain name and IP addresses correct, I have had the problem with my dial-up and this was a solution.

Re: [newbie] Internet Troubles
Dennis, I cant even get Linux to detect my modem in Drakconfig, but I could the first time I ran XWindows Mandrake 7.1.. thats the problem, afraid ill try another reinstall of mandrake7.1 tommorrow and if it still no works, well, think I may give up on Linux for a while.. even though I hate windoze more then anything, will most likely just switch distros, although I love the Mandrake 7.1 distro, thanks for the help -Daniel

Re: [newbie] Internet Troubles
Um...something strikes me as odd. When you setup the connection did you leave the checkbox checked that mentions the "lock file"? If so, that might be your trouble. Unckeck that box and see what happens. It sounds as though it's locked. Kinda what Netscape does from time to time when it crashes and doesn't clean out the temp folder and leaves a lock file lying around to screw things up. -- Mark ** =/\= No Penguins were harmed | ICQ#27816299 ** _||_ in the making of this | ** =\/= message...| Registered Linux user #182496 On Sat, 30 Sep 2000, Daniel Stehm wrote: OK, having some problems with Mandrake 7.1, hoping to get some help.
