mandrake 7.1 help please i installed mandrake 7.1 last week from Linux Magazine CD, everything seemed to be ok until i got online. As soon as i am online any mandrake wont boot up any new Aplications or clients, even console or looking through the harddrive stops working. (nothing crashes..it just doent do anything). I tried starting eg. Xchat before i went online but it wont even try to connect once online. everything continuses to work again as if nothing was wrong as soon as i come offline again.
