hello everyone my hard drive crashed and like usual linux to the rescue. only two problems 1 i have all the info i need for my internet connection it's just no matter how many times or places i put a user name in it always says user name not entered i know i'missing something and in non root user mode the windows won't resize from top to bottom. any advice would be appreciated thanks rick

How are you connecting- Dial-up, DSL, cable?
Which program is complaining about there being no username?

i use a dial up moden

sorry i twitched right out of that reply i use dial up it seems to be working although i don't hear it dial and then netscape 4.7 gives me the user ot specified but i hAVE have gone into preferences and put a user name every where i could find it also mentions socks

What's the exact message concerning Socks? You aren't behind a proxy server/firewall of any kind, are you?

it just tells me to check it but the prolem is the user name i'vegone into preferences everywhere just an't figure what area i'm missing is there somewhere other than preferences i should check is there something outside of netscape that might be affecting this is there a mainpoint in the program i should be putting my name that i am missing or should i just go through everything and put in a user name? should my log on user name for botting up be the same as my user name for my isp. i am starting to tink better i have been very sick for the last two weeks thanks
