Hi,

I've got the Cable to access the Internet, and the modem is connected to my network card. under Win, I've got a small program from the provider, but under Linux (I use Linux Mandrake 9.0 with KDE 3.0.3) I don't what to do, and where to go to configure all that .
Please help me, I've been looking for a wile now, and I just can't find what I need (what I think I need).
Can you help me??
Thanks a lot for all the help that you can give .
Bye, and see you later.

I tried to use DHCP, but I'm a big newbie with Linux, and I tried a lot of stuff ... and it didn't work ...
Please, can you explain to me how to connect to the Internet like you said???
Is that the only way to connect to the Internet with the Cable under Linux Mandrake 9.0??
Thanks a lot for your help .
Bye, and see you later.

Yes ... it has.
But I've got 2 PCs, each one with Win98 and Linux on it.
And so, I have a small network, so when it asked me that, I choosed a static IP for my network, and a name for my PC. under Win98, I also have a static IP in the "Win98 network configuration", but my provider gave me a program to connect to the Internet, so I've got a static IP under my network (under Win9, and when I use this program, I can connect to the Internet, and have a dynamic IP. Is it possible to have the same kind of "configuration" under Linux?? Or do I have to choose between a Static IP(so only my network) and a Dynamic IP(so only the Internet)????
Also, I would like to know, is Lindows stable, very good, and is it true that you can use Win programs under it :roll:???
Please help me.
Thanks a lot for your help .
Bye, and see you later.

Well, for the network, do you have a router or not?

No, I've only got 2 PCs, each one has one network card.
So? Can you help me to configure all that stuff??

Answering those questions, Lindows have backed off of the Win programs claim several months ago (even though its lingering around the net).

Sorry, but I'm not english, so I'm not very strong in speaking english :roll:, and so, I didn't really understood what you said . Do you mean that it's not possible "anymore" to use Win programs under Lindows 8O??? Is it possible with older versions of Lindows???
Thanks a lot for your help .
Bye, and see you later.

Which one is actually connected to the modem?

The one with Linux Mandrake 9.0 and Win98 installed on it, with one network card.
zenok: Ok, thanks, I'll try this also :wink:.

----------Also, another question:
I've seen that on the CD my provider gave me, there is a package for Linux (the package is to install something named: PPPOE), so I installed it (it said my that the signature wasn't good, do you think it might cause problems??), then tried to do what they say to access the Internet.
But my connection is a Cable connection, and in those "help files", they always speak about ADSL ... do you think I must configure my connection the same way that for ADSL??
Something that might help you to help me: it seems like my connection is like the connection of sympatico.ca ... well, that what they seem to say in those "help files": the package installs something (program, or something ... I don't know :oops that is also for user from sympatico.ca.
Can this help you???
What must I configure??
Please help me.
Thanks a lot for your help .
Bye, and see you later.
