Well, many thanks for the concern regarding my MDK10 problem. Unfortunatly, and as I predicted, the problem is MDK. I had no success connecting it to my LAN and to my Proxyserver using the networking card. With the same hardware and without touching any cable or HUB I've just installed SUSE9.1 : I'm amaized to see how this OS installs everything including, lan setup and SMB client configuration without any kind of user configuration action. Even much better than WINDOWS!!! I was incredibly surprised to see my WINDOWS shares on the network browsing tool automatically. Congratulations SUSE team! you've won a fan because a good software is the one that gives fast results! Sorry MDK users... keep up the good effort. Or change to something that really works!

thanks! well as I said previouslly ping from win machine to its netw card (192.168.0.1) is OK. Not ok from win to mdrk. Out of time error. BR

Hi Thank you for your tips. a) I have a connection through proxy server on a windows pc. Hub connection between pc's. B) new tested cable connected to linux. c) did all things as your suggestion. d) havn't changed resolv.config (empty) because I want to connect using the proxy. e) route -n exactly as the last time. f) ping's...again not working. thank you.

Thanks! New fresh MDK10 install (no server options). There's always an orange icon informing that the newtwork is down. So here it is the data: root@localhost root]# iptables -nvL bash: iptables: command not found [root@localhost root]# iptables -nvL -t nat bash: iptables: command not found [root@localhost root]# route -n Kernel IP routing table Destination Gateway Genmask Flags Metric Ref Use Iface 192.168.0.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 0 eth0 127.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 255.0.0.0 U 0 0 0 lo [root@localhost root]# ifconfig eth0 eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:30:1B:26:A0:3D inet addr:192.168.0.5 Bcast:192.168.0.255 Mask:255.255.255.0 UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 RX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:2 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:0 errors:1 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:1000 RX bytes:0 (0.0 B) TX bytes:0 (0.0 B) Interrupt:16 Base address:0xe400 [root@localhost root]# resolv.conf: empty ping 192.168.0.5 OK ping 192.168.0.1 (win machine, Machine name: VHN-1, workgroup: VHN) [root@localhost root]# ping 192.168.0.1 PING 192.168.0.1 (192.168.0.1) 56(84) bytes of data.

Many Thanks! I've installed iptables as your suggestion. Nothing happened after rebooting. Everything stands still. :-( Problem...the network configuration tools from Mandrake should be working and they don't!!!! I suppose you have some experience with this OS but I shoudn't be an expert to make an OS work. This is why I'm saying Mandrake is not a good tool. I'm a user not an expert. Why should I buy an OS that I cannot handle??? Let us ask this question to the Mandrake guys... Thanks for your amazing interest! I suppose you have your place in heaven now ... but still I'm disappointed (again) with MDK.

well, let's see if you can edit smb.conf using SWAT (browsing configuration tool that come's with samba) is your network card working? ping ok? use konqueror with location: http://localhost/901 login as root then edit al the necessary data... Good luck!

by the way... pings...go this way: from the LINUX machine: ping 192.168.0.5 OK good response ping 192.168.0.1 bla bla...destination host unreachable

Well your're correct! (and I still have MDK...I'm a patience guy) Some things are getting stronger and better: KDE and OpenOffice! hurray for them. Amazing how can they be so much better than commercial packages. About the problem... I suppose it won't help much but nevertheless here it is: Ifconfig: eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:30:1B:26:A0:3D inet addr:192.168.0.5 Bcast:192.168.0.255 Mask:255.255.255.0 inet6 addr: fe80::230:1bff:fe26:a03d/64 Scope:Link UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 RX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:16 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:0 errors:7 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:1000 RX bytes:0 (0.0 B) TX bytes:0 (0.0 B) Interrupt:16 Base address:0xe400 lo Link encap:Local Loopback inet addr:127.0.0.1 Mask:255.0.0.0 inet6 addr: ::1/128 Scope:Host UP LOOPBACK RUNNING MTU:16436 Metric:1 RX packets:148 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:148 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:0 RX bytes:11162 (10.9 Kb) TX bytes:11162 (10.9 Kb) iptables -nvL command not found (so no firewalls) route -n [root@localhost root]# route -n Kernel IP routing table Destination Gateway Genmask Flags Metric Ref Use Iface 192.168.0.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 0 eth0 127.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 255.0.0.0 U 0 0 0 lo resolv.conf search 168.0.1 nameserver 192.168.0.1 # nameserver 127.0.0.1 # ppp temp entry -------------------------------------------- 192.168.0.1 (it's the windows machine with proxy) 192.168.0.5 (it's the MDK 10 machine) Thanks for the support!

Yes. I've the same problem that you do. Mandrake is fine but very bad on networking. Solution: change to suse 9.0 or 9.1 because it will work only by setting up tcpip info.

I've some problems setting up the network card running under Mandrake 10. With Suse 9.0 it went fine but with mandrake no. No pings allowed to other netwoking machines (Windows). I've exactly the same problem that nawialkair memeber but I'm trying to connect to a proxy under a windows machine but I cannot even get the network card starting to ping. Any Ideas? Good software is proportional function to stability, fast results on settings and production. Linux must work harder to get there. Thanks.
