Hello again,
I eventually gave up with Mandrake and installed SuSE 8.1 Professional instead on both my machines. Works much better and was totally easy to set up.
So now I have a different question if anyone can answer it... (I don't think its a hard one... )
I have two machines in my mini home network, one dual booting MSW98SE and SuSE8.1Prof and the other just booting SuSE8.1Prof (because its only got a diddy 4Gig hard drive so it didn't seem worth putting both operating systems on it.)
One of the machines connects to the internet via 56k modem (I intend to upgrade to ADSL in a few months time but am working with this set up for now). We use KMail as our mail client, and I would like to set it up so we can access our accounts from either machine. There are three seperate users.
Anyone know how to set it up to do this?

Aside from the advice already given, you'll need the box to act as a router for internal traffic through the ppp device. Take a look at the SUSE firewall which has a nice GUI, and appears to be easy to set up. I don't use SuSE any more, so I'm not much further help!
Cheers, Laurie.
