Hi folks,
Further to my post, I am using a Wireless Netgear
Router. Perhaps I need to download the Wireless-tools from Deb? But as I 've not
installed Linux yet and as I have no connection in Linux anyway, this seems a
little difficult smile. However, I did manage to get a "welcome to ubuntu "
internet page when I opened up firefox. It was only when I tried to go to say
goodle for example when I found htat the page could not be found. I ran ifconfig
from the terminal but wasn't quite sure what I was looking for. I found inet
address but it didn't look like anything I've recognised before. My Mask net I
thik that is what it is called - sorry if it is not seems correct but I can't
remember if it is as i don't think i have it to hand. Maybe I will boot back
into the Live CD and run Icpci to see if I can found out exactly what router I'm
running.
Thank you all for your patience and support of this
Linux newbie
Best wishes
James
