OK... I actually got @Home to work on my new Mandrake 7.2 install without posting here first... sort of.
The problem I'm having is that every time I start the computer, I have to go through hoops to get the machine to see the network.
On startup, I get a fail on eth0
once I've gone into my session, I run linuxconf and verify my settings:
Host Name + Domain: Cxxxx-x.[cityID].[state].home.com
Primary Name + Domain: same as above
IP Address: in, no dhcp (although I should probably use that...?)
Netmask: 255.255.255.0
Net Device: eth0
Kernel module: tulip (it's a LinkSys LNE100TX)
I/O port: A800
IRQ: 05 (both these settings have been verified on my BIOS and on WIN2K)
Once I OK this, I check DNS, etc. and all is well. When I exit linuxconf it reloads eth0 no problem.
Still no connection.
Then I go through drakconf & try to reconfigure networking, it says no card... so i through hardDrake & verify the card settings again, go BACK into Networking & set up cable connection (same parameters as above, no dhcp) and then set up local networking, simply verifying all the information is there. Once I've done this last part, it asks if I want to restart the network, OK. THEN and only then do I get out into the great big world.
If anyone has any ideas on what I should change, I would greatly appreciate the help. I'm a Linux user for a grand total of 48 hours now, so I suspect I'm just doing something dumb. Thanks!
