| 197091 | 2003-12-04 21:33:00 | Hmm... Bummer.... And what does: ifconfig bring up now after you've run all of that? try: ping localhost Are you Dual-Booting with another OS on your Mandrake 9.2 machine? What NIC have you got in your PC? One of those Reatek 8139-based cards that DSE Sell? |

| 197092 | 2003-12-04 21:58:00 | isnt a mandrake one of those squealing plants on harry potter? | Jimmy D (2061) | ||
| 197093 | 2003-12-05 00:18:00 | The easiest way is to just use the mandrake tool to do it. Goto Mandrake control center -> Network -> drakconnect. Hit next until it gets to the screen with IP address & netmask (you may need to untick automatic IP). Enter the new ip address, eg 192.168.0.3. Then hit next and fix the gateway address if you need to. |

| 197094 | 2003-12-23 19:09:00 | Just waking this thread up, just went for a little holiday! Still no luck with Mandrake! :S Not sure if it will make a difference, but I will completely remove it... (if it's possible?) then re-install Mandrake. Something seems wrong, and it shouldn't take this long. I'm not going to give up and retire to Windows this easily! Any suggestions again, are welcome. |

| 197095 | 2003-12-23 19:20:00 | To be honest, I'd recommend Fedora Linux. I love the GUI tools it has for setting up networking among other things Ive not used Mandrake since 9.0, but found I couldnt get a few things going (namely display, netork, and sound) whereas Fedora had them first time every time. What Network card are you using? Networking has always been a strong seller for Linux as you dont need reboots every time you change settings, it takes a matter of a second to change over. Good luck with the re-install Chill. |

| 197096 | 2003-12-24 18:39:00 | Well, the network card is a VIA VT6102 Rhine II Fast Ethernet Adapter. And yes, I am dual-booting this machine with XP... under XP the network works prefectly. As for Fedora, I'll check it out, but maybe I'll move to Red Hat... |

| 197097 | 2003-12-24 18:48:00 | Errrr..... Fedora _is_ redhat.... Hence: fedora.redhat.com |
