Tried that. Did fine. I want to login ON the network tho. That failed for some odd reason. Maybe i need to reboot the network? Cause the LAN didn't pick it up as far as I could tell. was weird. I'll give it another shot. Thx shane, as always you're so (un)helpful :) --- Femme Femme, I have noticed a problem in 8.2 that I can not login to the SNF machine if the computer I am using is set up to run dhcp. Change to static and I can log on to the SNF but not onto the internet. This appears to have been solved in 9.0beta4, not sure, but try using Mandrake Control CenterNetworkconnection and changing to static on the machine your using. Hope this makes sense to you.

Anyway, NICB isn't functioning. No lights on the back nothing. Yet I believe its detected. if you have no lights at all, you likely have a dead card. anyway all the nics i have ever used light up at power on reguardless of the OS or detection, though some will turn off if not detected. you might want to watch it at bootup. As an aside, is there an easy way to tell which is NIC-A and which is -B? the second card will be in the later slot. ie, if you have 2 PCI cards the one in the first slot will be the first card. the documentation or even the motherboard itself might tell you slots A B C or 1 2 3. - -- remember the original 'jimminey cricket'??? no? he got smashed for telling the truth, remember that the next time someone says honestly now, tell me what you think shane Profile at: http://dmoz.org/profiles/shen.html Proud to be a DMOZ editor since 10-98 Mandrake Users Club Member http://www.linux-mandrake.com/en/club/ Registered linux user #101606 http://counter.li.org/ -BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE- Version: GnuPG v1.0.6 (GNU/Linux) Comment: For info see http://www.gnupg.org iD4DBQE9c4s/Bwq+ZwvIN/oRAmWDAJ0epigOJPFch6yuZSvzZP6JxxZS7wCYjUQB FhFD5cOQJkCvHYVBqt7Skg== =gAko -END PGP SIGNATURE- I had a similar problem, just bite the bullet and replace the NIC and likely all will work.HTH -- Dennis M. linux user #180842 Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

My dilemma is that the NIC thats supposed to hook up to the DSL Modem isn't working. Rather, it works I believe, but SNF isn't configuring it. so my network currently is thus: CompA Switch CompB ---^ ^ DSL Modem --| I assume (perhaps wrongly) the firewall will need to have ONE NIC accessing that modem directly no? Femme, your understanding of this is correct. This is exactly how my network is setup. In fact, I was experiencing the same trouble. I finally summized that the second nic just wasn't any good and changed it out. When I did that it began to connect via the cable modem and my network lived! Have you tried that yet? Mark Not yet. First thing I did was hook one NIC to the Switch. Why? Cause I just wanted to SSH into it or something. See if I can just play with it. I'm on a LAN here, and my g/f would kill me if she has no Internet connection. *Shrugs* So.. I must play with the box first, figure out how it works. I don't know if this is even possible yet. The second card, if it IS defective I shall pitch *Like i did a P/S this last 2 weeks*. Ty Mark.--- Femme Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft? Go to http://www.mandrakestore.com
