You should mention more detail on what kind of problem you are experiencing - what effects you do not get that you expect and so on.

"tail /var/log/messages" may report some error messages that can be helpful. In the menu system->Administration there should be something like "System protocol" - There should be the possibility to get some information about what the system is trying to tell if something does not work.

Hi,

And welcome to LQ!


I've split your unrelated post (and the response) out of
the original thread.

Welcome to LQ!

Redhat 9 is very old now - Redhat ceased support for it in mid-2004.

May I suggest that you download a more modern distro. Fedora is the free successor to Redhat, the latest version is 5. Other distros that are good for Newbies include Suse and Ubuntu. Ubuntu would be my recommendation.

Updating to a newer version may fix your problems.

I hope this helps
