Hi I hope some here can help me. Last night I finally dual booted my Laptop
(Packard Bell M5) with mandrake 10 community edition (May issue of Linux
Format. There just one problem, can't get the internet to work. It look
like mandrake doesn't recognizes the modem, so I got hold of a PCMIA card
modem which I new worked with Linux, I still had no luck .So I booted in to
windows to see which ports they attached to ,COM3&4 ,went back in to Linux
and tried them, it still did work.
While in Linux some messages came up, can't find /etc/resovl.conf ask you
system addmiastration to create it, so I log in to root and created
it. Then said can not find /dev/modem so I created it too. Also there was
some message saying couldn't find modem in /mtab and /fstab I think these
were in the /ect.. I tried all I know, which is a lot as still new to Linux.
