I finally had to buy a router, and put that between the cable modem and my PC. I was then able to set my PC up as a static IP, which worked like a charm. Actually, it also worked using dhcp...but for me, no router = no cable modem access.

I'm a complete neophyte so take this with a grain of salt but I configured eth0 as a lan connection and could not connect to the Internet unless the host name was left blank. - Richard L.

I'm guessing you are sharing an internet connection through Linux. It does this using NAT (network address translation) and I spent a lot of time trying to get MSN messenger voice / video to work. Until I found a site somewhere that told me MSN voice / video doesn't work through NAT, period. So, I gave up. And tried Yahoo messenger instead, which (thankfully) does work through NAT.

Re: [newbie] New install M8.0 - modules don't work. What did I do wrong?
I just installed my Mandrake 8 disk, and I get messages in /var/log/messages that say modules cannot be loaded, kernel isn't module enabled, etc. I can't even post my messages file because I can't get online without ppp. It was working fine before, I reinstalled because I downloaded the second disk to get the extra apps.

Since DOS will load a generic CD-ROM driver hopefully it will allow 8.0 to see and access your drive. With 8.0 in your drive boot your system with a win98 Start-up disk. Choose the With CD-ROM Support option. I will be using N for my cd-rom. You will need to replace that with the assignment which DOS gives to yours.

I don't think the hardware in it is terribly compatible with each other. But I haven't quite put my finger on why just yet. I have a separate IDE interface from the one on the Sound Blaster card. I don't even understand why the audio card has an IDE interface. I think most every hardware resource is consumed, and other than the IDE "conflict" I don't see any conflicts. The IDE interface on the Sound Blaster is disabled in my Win98 setup which is how I get by with that (I think). - Original Message - From: Eric MC.D <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Monday, August 14, 2000 10:34 AM Subject: Re: [newbie] New install > John Eichenberger wrote: > > > > I just installed Linux (well actually I did it twice now) and I am having a > > fundemental problem.

Re: [newbie] New Install LILO Problems
Actually, I don't have a problem with SC, because I didn't install LILO into the MBR. SC boots up fine and finds the Linux ext partition, and can boot to that partition. The problem that I'm having is the LILO boot. I saw that someone else on the newbie list out there is having the same problem, and has close to the same configuration. I wonder if this is a bug with 7.1? The main problem is LILO it starts and prints the L of LILO and then a continous 10 10 10 10 10 10 ect. Please help.

Re: [newbie] New Install LILO Problems
If you have the boot utility disk (you should have made it installing system commander ) just boot from the floppy. This will tell SC the computer's new configuration and SC will be reset. This way you will see if there is any problem with LILO or GRUB and if the partitions are bootable.
