Next message: Jeff Thomas: "[WinMac] Mac Eudora importing addresses to PC outlook"
Some months ago, I used some local Russian techs to help me setting up a
home LAN. During the 6-8 weeks that this went on, the local company provided
two sets of two techs to set up the LAN and lastly, a third set came along
and told me that Win 98 SE (UK) and all the programs, drivers, etc. need to
be reinstalled on the WinGate machine. The problem turned out to be that the
third group hadn't a clue what the password was for the WinGate app and
therefore needed to do a complete reinstall, but was trying to stick me with
a bill for their incompetence.
Now I have a new problem. I have an IBM machine with Mandrake Linux
installed on it. I want to access the Internet through my home LAN, but am
unsure how to connect to the machine with WinGate. I remember that the last
time the techs were here, they set up something that works with WinGate for
my UMAX, but that they said that they set something else up for the Wintel
client machine that I have, running Win 98 SE (UK) with a 98lite install.
What this is, I haven't a clue. I have looked on the at the network adapter
properties on the Wintel client and haven't found anything that looks like
something that I can use. Mandrake Linux (Intel) does not recognize the IP
address for the UMAX and I believe that the Mandrake machine does have a
connection to the network, though I am not certain. What should I look for
on the WinGate machine (or the Wintel client) and what can I do from the
Mandrake machine?
Thanks in advance for the patience it took to read this saga.
Cheers,
Brian
