Some site cannot be viewed with any browser. Name lookup works, pinging the no working sites is okay. Other sites works perfectly. I also looked which drivers my Mandrake 9.0 offers me and the sk98lin is in the list. I choosed sk98lin but I got the answer that it could not be loaded and if I want to specify some parameters. I tried that like 10Mbit, half duplex but it didn't help. Did you have to specify parameters when choosing sk98lin? And if yes which one?
