Can't bring up eth0 in Mandrake 10.1 Official
I'm trying out Mandrake for the first time from Fedora Core. Everything is good for now except the internet. I'm connected on my school's lan which requires you to "login" in order to use the internet. In linux, all you need to do is try to visit a webpage and it will redirect you to the login, once you login, you're good. In Mandrake however, it says it can't bring up the eth0 interface. It makes no sence unless it actually tries to send and receive data, in which it will fail untill I log in. I went to the controll panel and it gets the DNS server addresses for my campus, but no IP information, etc. In Fedora Core it'd just bring up the interface anyway and once I logged in I was good. Does Mandrake try to send and receieve information BEFORE it lets you connect to the internet or is the ethernet connection not setting up right? Any ideas around this problem?
