emh Posted November 22, 2003 Author Report Share Posted November 22, 2003 (edited) Well, I fixed the problem about eth1 not wanting to start at boot. And after replacing a fan in my Linux computer, I now can just leave it on all the time again, so I don't have to restart it and worry about losing the connection to the Windows computer. Or so I thought....... However, just now, when my fiance tried to access the internet (I had it working before, and I hadn't restarted my Linux computer since then), she couldn't get on. I had to run the setup program in MCC before it worked on her computer. What happened there? I would have thought that not having to restart the Linux computer would mean it would finally work. But I still had to re-run the setup program before my fiance could get on again. Should I just break down and buy an ethernet hub or a router? :\ Oh, and to answer a previous question, I've done it both ways, with my fiance's computer on and off, and it just doesn't stick.

emh Posted November 30, 2003 Author Report Share Posted November 30, 2003 I think I've found the source of the problem, and it's not with my Mandrake computer, but with my fiance's Windows computer. Now let's see if I can fix it......... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
emh Posted December 23, 2003 Author Report Share Posted December 23, 2003 I guess nobody knows how to fix the problem? By the way, my fiance upgraded (using the term loosely) to Windows XP, and we still have the problem of her computer not wanting to recognize the internet connection. I should state that I used a Crossover Cable to connect the two computers. Would it make a difference if I spent some extra dollars and used a regular network cable instead?
