I would be really interested in hiring one of you to fix the problem with my machine. I cannot get my dsl connection to work with it. I have a HP running mandrake linux. I also have a copaq presario running win 98. They both are on pretty much full time. I am using the Qwest megabit DSL connection. I have McAfee firewall and virus software running fulltime on the windows machine. Many of you have given me some tips and I am very grateful. THE MACHINE JUST HATES ME! (haha) I am just not good enough at networking to figure this out. I know that mandrake has found the eth0 card, because it says so. But it can never bring it up. (probably operator error) I am just not sure what is wrong. I live near Paradise Valley mall, and would be interested in paying one of you for your services. Thanks, Stew
