I hope you guys haven't forgot about me. I'd still really like to get on the net. I seriously want to make the change from Windows to Linux, but I'm a web designer so i need the Internet on my Linux box. Thank you for the help so far thought, I appreciate it.

Hey it all sounds good! Just spell check and it will all be set. I can't wait until someone makes a move because I'm growing weary of all these laptops that don't display the full potential of Linux.

IP Addres: 68.70.65.9 DHCP: 192.168.1.1 Wireless card: LAN-Express IEEE 802.11 PCI Adapter Thats pretty much it. I have my hostname and IP address confirmed using tools on the net when I switch over to XP (i've got a dual boot). I think there might be a problem with the wireless lan card built in to the computer. Maybe Mandrake doesn't support it. Like I said earlier, it recognizes the card, but seemingly won't connect with it. I'm really very new to Linux but I would love to start learning. Any help you can provide me with would be awesome. Thanks!

I'm trying to log on to the Internet using my laptop equiped with Mandrake 9.2. I have all my settings correct (IP, hostname, hardware, everything). But... I'm still not able to connect to the internet! I would love to be able to surf using Linux because I'm tired of Windows. I've tried pinging websites and it just tells me the host cannot be found (e.g., www.yahoo.com reads back host www.yahoo.com not found). Arrrgh!! Please help.

Well I just recently downloaded Mandrake 9.2 and am more than pleased by the ease of use and flexibility of the system. I would love to make the full switch from WinXP (<-- evil!) to Linux but I NEED MY INTERNET! I have searched through many forums and haven't quite found any posts that are specific to my needs, so here's my question... sure hope you guys can assist me with my transition (for the best!) I have a built in wireless LAN: Lan-Express IEEE 802.11 PCI Adapter I have a Lynksis broadband router: BEFW11S4 When I try to configure the wireless connection using mcc, it will detect my card, and I put in all the specifications concerning my IP, DNS, gateway, subnet mask, and all these other numbers to whose meaning I am lost! It will congratulate me for a successful configuration but I still can't connect. What is going on? Please help. I'm a newbie but I learn fast.
