Hello all, Just decided to install Mandrake MNF for a small network(250 machines). Install seems to have went fine and everything seems to work except when I log into the gui and start configuring the network cards. Most of the time the system will hang and I have to reboot it and cannot log on any longer to the mandrake machine. The only solution to this that I have found is to reload the box. If I understand this right I need one card configured coming from my lan and I have an internal address on this card. The other card I have marked as wan and going into the ethernet port on my cisco 1700 series router(it is also marked as the network card for internet access). However I can never get a link between the mandrake box and the cisqo router. The lan port seems to be working fine. I am mainly going to be using the proxy immediately and learning a bit more about the firewall so I can implement that. Am I doing something wrong on the Wan side? Or am I completely confused about how I should implement this on my network? Thanks for any help.
