RE: [newbie] Re: Mandrake 8.0 "internet" desktop icon does not give me a button to connect & disconnect to Internet. . .
Hi there, I assume that you have set up a connection to your isp. If so, try adding kppp to the panel. When you click on the kppp icon, you should get a pop-up window with: quit, , setup and connect. (More or less)! Obviously you need to configure your modem etc. Check things out and try again.

Dear W.C. Baker: You are right. To connect to the Internet you need to click on the Mandrake Software Manager icon, Network and Internet, Connection. Don't touch the Internet Sharing button unless youa re connecting two computers. The Connection interface is quite confusing. Use the Configure wizard at the bottom right. I hope LM 8.1 will feature a more streamlined, accessible interface for all this. Benjamin On Wednesday 22 August 2001 18:50, you wrote: > Hi! I very recently installed Mandrake 8.0.

In KDE, click on the K then go to -Networking Remote Access -Internet Dialer. In GNOME, it's called Gnome ppp. If you want to put it on the desktop, you just drag & drop it from the menu.
