I have XP HOME on primary master, simplymepis on primary SLAVE, cdrom on secondary master and fedora core 5.0 on secondary slave. xp goes online and emails with no problem. either of the linux os's won't go online. i used to get simplymepis online when it and the xp hard drives were the only ones in the pc, primary master and primary slave. now after i installed the fedora hard drive neither it or the simplymepis will go online. what can be done to enable them to go online and set up email programs in them? simplymepis, in the past, has been very good with everyhting, but ever since i installed fedora on another hard drive and installed it as secondary master and neither one of them will go online.i've tried disconnecting the fedora hard drive and I'm still having the same problem with them whether its connected or not.
any help will be appreciated.
thanks, JimIt shouldn't matter at all. Are you on broadband? Did you adjust any settings after loading it? Are you SURE absolutely nothing else has changed?I have a cable modem. service provider is comcast. i use an alphashield hardware firewall device which stops hackers, 3rd party pop-ups and wormswhich worked fine when simplymepis was going online. i have a linksys wrt54g wireless router which is wired to this pc because it is the basestation in my network. i haven't set up fedora with the network manager yet to detect the nic, i will give that a try. the connection process that is failing with both simplymepis and fd5 is when i click on the firefox icon it searches and then a screen appears and says it can't CONNECT. (i don't remember the exact wording of the message).please let me know if you NEED more info.
thanks, JimWell the exact message would be helpful.
