Lan and WAN config problems

linuxnewbie-mandrake 101

Hi I have Mandrake 10. 0 official installed on my computer. The only way I have access to connecting to the internet is by using the motorola surfboard 4200 cable modem either by ethernet or usb. However when I try both approches I get the same result: nothing.

modem troubles

evansj

Hey there, I'm looking for some help on installing a modem on Fedora. For some reason it won't auto detect it and when I run kudzu to try and find it my mouse goes nuts and I have to restart. Attempting to add the device using the network settings results in no modem found.

How do I auto activate my modem in Redhat ?

dsnd_medic

I have just installed Redhat 9, the OS see the modem OK, but if I want to go on the Internet, I have to go into the network setup area as administrator and manually set the modem to active. How can I set it up to activate when I start up my browser ? Thanks Andy.

Network Icons Do Not Work

JodithPWorld

Hi Folks: A little background behind this. . . . I'm running Windows 2000 Professional, with Mozilla Firefox/Thunderbird v1. 0. There is absolutely no trace of IE on my system. I used IE Eradicator to rid of it.

Red Hat, oops, I mean Fedora still sucks...

Anonymous

As you well know, from time to time I post my experiences with different distro installs and testing. I tried Redhat 9. 0 a long time ago and had nvidia and rpm problems. I just tried Fedora Core 3 the other day and nothing has changed.

I just wanted to see what everyone thought of Microsoft's legal decision that prevents people from buying Microsoft COA keys. You can check it out at this link. Personally, I feel that Microsoft is going to push its millions of customers into the arms of another lover, er, software manufacturer.

What is more secure, Linux or Windows?

clutch

There is a thread going on at NTComp's sister site that asks the question What is more secure, Linux or Windows?. It appears that I am the only one there offering options for Windows and why it can be very secure.
