Ok, I duel boot both XP and Mandrake. I am trying to get a "home portal" from swbell to work on Mandrake. I ran connectdrak which seemed everything was going to work till the end when it had to prove it worked. I am about to call SWBell, I mean all I can loose is a hour of my life. I will give a link to a site the home portal makers.

On the 2wire website the homeportal is to the left.
