Hi, After following advice from many people, I finally got Mandrake 8 working as a logon server for the windows boxes on my home network. I had to reinstall on a larger HD, but now cannot get it working again. (logon from windows) I have DHCP running and serving ip's and I have full use of the net from all clients. I have printed out and read all info I can find, but cannot see where I am going wrong. In Konqueror, when I click on local network, I get 'could not connect to host localhost. Can any one point me in the direction of a SIMPLE step by step explanation of how to set this up.? ================================================================ Colin Jenkins ICQ: 650611 Voice: +61 97351410 Mob: 0409196144 I'm looking for freedom - can you direct me? ================================================================
