It requires an ifdown eth0 from a su console and then once connected you can ifup eth0 and all is well. Strangeness!

I accidentally trashed my /home and could not get it back, so went for a new clean install on the hdc and I am back where I was the first time I tried to install 8.1.

I can not for the life of me remember what I did to get online. Suggestions are gratefully accepted. I'm sending this on hda with 8.0 which worked out of the box and no problems at all. I think that 8.1 did not make installation easier but more complicated. -- Dennis M. registered linux user # 180842 Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

RE: [newbie] SAMBA and WEBMIN inaccessible
There's something else you're going to want to look for, or your webadmin will NOT allow you access to the interface. As ROOT, edit the file /etc/webmin/miniserv.conf I believe it's line 11, that by default reads: ssl=1 Unless you have ssl configured and the cert created, you will not be able to gain access to the webmin. If you change that line to read: ssl=0 You will be able to get by using http://hostname:1. Once you've gotten that far, keep in mind that webmin will ONLY recogize the root user, and the root passwd specified at install. If you have since changed the root passwd, the new passwd will not work. So I hope you either remember the original root passwd, or haven't changed it. As far as ssh goes. Stick with it! It's more secure then telnet unless you're using another kind of telnet. I know FreeBSD comes with a secure telnet that uses SRA secure login. -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] On Behalf Of Paul Cox Sent: Monday, October 29, 2001 10:54 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [newbie] SAMBA and WEBMIN inaccessible On Friday, Oct 26, 2001, Dennis Myers wrote: I have tried all kinds of ways that I can think of but am unable to get samba or webmin in konqueror.
