Hi all, I would like to make a request.. Dialup seems to be a constant problem that is always popping up on this list... I suggest that mandrake still offer redhats netcfg as it is better for unusual configs then the mandrake install.. I have tried the mandrake tools before, and ended up with a broken dialup and ethernet setup... (I won't get this email from the list because my dialup isn't working on my mail server.) I have a static IP dialup, I use masquarading without dynamic IP, (I like to set the boxs manually so when I ping a box, I know which one it is..) mandrakes tools don't like working with that sort of setup.. Linuxconf (in mandrake at least is clagged for ppp and I don't even think ppp is enabled in mdk 8 linuxconf) so if you have a slightly unusual setup (and many of us do) then you have to write the scripts manually.. thats not to good for what is the easiest linux distro... Since the tool is free, open source, and already in existance.. why not change it to suit mandrake and make it available online.. I downloaded the src rpm from redhat, and built it,, then installed it, and it will edit everything bar dialup,,, Its so annoying because in all the redhat installs in the past, the dialup was always a piece of cake to setup... In this respect Redhat cains mandrake into oblivion. (although in nearly everything else the reverse is true.) If anyone has a comment on this they could like me to receive please add [EMAIL PROTECTED] to the emails. I won't get any until the mail server is rebuilt. regards Frank
