   I'm confused about whether both can have the same IP address, or whether

   Even if they did fix it, all I can use at the moment is the Mageia 2 DVD   
   released in May.  I can't get any fixes for anything until I have at   
   least one network connection working in Mageia.

   I've kept working at it, using my ISP's DNS to start.  Last I checked,   
   'ping' works, "ifup eth0" works, but a web browser can't even find my   
   router's IP.  This is typical for me when trying for 'net connectivity.   
     At least I have other installations where I can get online and search   
   or ask questions.
