I'm dual booting mandrake 8.2 and windows on a 1ghz p3 dell box. The mandrake install went amazingly easy and everything is working fine except for my dial-up connection. I configured it during an initial install and couldn't get it connected at all. It dials fine, no probs with that. But it won't connect. I hit the icon 'connect to the internet or whatever it's called on the KDE desktop and net monitor comes up. It goes through a 'testing connection' messge at the bottom of the window then it starts to dial. The window expands to the right of the screen for a few seconds and then goes back to normal size and displays a "connection failed' message and tells me to check my config. But my modem is still dialing after that and hasn't finished dialing in at all. It makes all the normal sounds but doesn't connect. After the first attempt I guess it tries to connect again every couple minutes. The same thing happens every time. The login type my connection is script based. For windows I need a script text file that the dialing program uses to connect. Is there any other way I should be dialing my connection in mandrake? Also I only used disc #1 to install 8.2. I'm in the process of downloading the other 2. Thanks for any help.
