ello everybody !
Recently I am trying to make a considerable effort to change to linux. I recently sucessfully installed red hat 9.0 and winxp dual boot but have run into quite a few problems...
This is a brief overview of what I did, created 10GB partition in bios and installed winxp(ntfs) on it, then from xp created a FAT32 (5GB) partition and another 5GB(NTFS) partition. Then I booted from red hat CD and installed red hat on remaining 8.6GB. It works fine... but here are the problems I face......
I have been using supersify for a long quite a while now and it is a very good software, way better than the sify client but recently I ran into a few problems with it
The first time I looged on winxp I ran this supersify and was able to log on I forgot to log out and restarted my computer and started linux and entered all the information in the network card like IP, DNS, gateway.
SURPRISINGLY It didn't even ask me to download the client and I was able to go online just by giving this information. PROBLEM: NOW I CANNOT GO ONLINE ON WinXP.....?????
I tried to do everything deactivate the card on linux and trying to log on in winxp. I am able to log on in XP but I cannot go online ......... internet expllorer just gives up it doesn't even try connect to the website......
This is what happens in XP:
1. Run supersify in winxp : it works fine and verifies everything
2. when I click on internet explorer it opens up and says connecting to www.yahoo.com
3. fails in one second.
This is what happens in red hat 9.0:
1. enter user name and password
2. I am online no need for any client or anything ??????
also I cannot see the FAT32 5GB partition from my linux OS, but I can see it from winxp, can anyone help me on this ???
PLEASE HELP !!!!!!!
