i recently bought a p4 machine with a dual booting system installed to it.
(win xp and linux Redhat 9.0)
in windows i can access internet, but i am unable to check mails and man ipulate my e-mail account with the same pass word that i used to use.
the e-mail account soft ware that i used in my previous machine is what is there in the new machine as well(Eudora 5.1)
do i hav to re-install my e-mail software? or is there any specific configuration to be done by my ISP since i changed the machine....(?)


And i also hav another Q,
what is the procedure to get internet connectivity to my linux version of the Pc?

First, find out if you are using POP3 or IMAP email. Then we may be able to help.

e-mail account problem solved.
but i still don't know how to get connected to net through the linux Os
i mean i can connect to net through windows xp (my other OS). i guess i can't use that same CD to get stuff installed to linux ,can i??

and how do i get my printer installed in linux ?
the linux OS recognized the hardware.
can i use the same cd that i used to install the printer to winxp to install it to linux as well.???

For your internet connection, would you post some information on the type of connection you have. example - dialup usig a modem. and any error information you may have. Linux is network ready, so I'm sure that can be made to work.

As for the printer, I would recomend you go to www.linuxprinting.org as a place to start. You need to determine if your printer is supported under linux. A lot of the newer ink jet printers do not have print drivers for linux. Your windoze driver will not work. Check out the manufactures web site to see if they supply a linux driver, some do now.

for my connection i'm using dial up through a modem.
what is the procedure to install the connection settings to linux.?

my printer is canon bjc 2100sp
