Hello All, in the 12 hours I've been on this mailing list, I've learned SOOOO much. thanks to all! I'm semi new to linux, but extremely new to KDE and SuSE. I can't for the life of me get my machine to connect to the internet. I've tried everything to setup the ip and everything else... and it's not connecting. Says that the network is unreachable. Anyone else @home have this kind of problem or any pointers? My @home is always working and on... so I setup my computer looking for the name server 24.2.7.33 and 24.2.7.34 Everything else is setup correctly as far as I know. The howto's... I'd like to know HOWTO find the people who wrote them. I can't understand them. I'm from the south... redneck yes. Howto's didn't help my problem either. Now, the second problem is sound blaster AWE64. Anyhow commands that WILL get it to work. It's in the default 0x0220/irq5/dma1/dma16=5/0388 setup. I dunno.. it's act like it's playing a cd, but volume controls say I don't have permission, I'm logged in as root, and I can't hear any music. Volume should be ok. I heard crackling a bit when hitting the play, but I dunno what is wrong. Sorry this is so long, but I'm not eating, sleeping, or working out till I get this thing online again. I formatted my C drive/windoze 95 completely the other night. Yes, on purpose. hehe Any help will be greatly appreciated. Thanks! Ryan White Ps- I know I probably didn't spell half the words in the above letter correctly. I'm from the south... cut me some slack. 8[') _________________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
