Internet connection
I have a problem with Mandrake 8.1
If anyone is familiar with Mandrake please offer some advice (offer it even if your not).
When I used to click on the "Internet" icon on the desktop it would prompt for the root password. It still does this but when I enter it the window that would normally show the connection never finishes loading. It sits there like it were a web browser that isn't able to fully download a page and only shows somethings on it.
I had this working fine befor then one day I decide to reboot and it didn't work after that. Well, I figured maybe it was an upgrade I did so I reformatted the hd and reinstalled Mandrake fresh. Same problem. So, now I install Mandrake on a different hd and still the same problem.
So, now I think...maybe it's a graphic card problem since it seems to be choking on the display of the "Internet" window. So I installed a Geforce 2, which is working fine, but I am having the same problem.
The last thing I can think might possibly be the problem is the NIC. But I am really stumped here. It was working fine one day, then I do a reboot and it just sits there. Very odd.
Any and all help would be greatly appreciated.
