    I'm on day two of Mandrake 9.2 and have a couple of (hopefully) simple
    problems to solve.

    Many web pages will not open for me. Seems to be independent of
    browser (have tried mozilla, galeon). If a page does open then often a
    hyperlink on that page will not open. No chance at all of getting on
    to a secure site. Have played with basic security settings in Linux
    but no joy.

    No error message, browser just hunts for a while then indicates pages
    is "done" without actually opening a new page.

    Second issue is that at the moment only the root user can connect to
    the internet (modem), and then only through the configuration tool. I
    want to set up so that users can have permission to connect. How do I
    do this?

    Basic stuff I know, but then you have to start somewhere.
