Internet Connection
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

Subject: Live CD and Internet
Connection
Hi folks,
I have played with Linux Ubuntu on a Live CD
and I have others to try. Unfortunately, Ubuntu doens't automatically find
my wireless internet connection from the CD. Does this mean that installed
Linux Ubuntu distribution - if indeed I do decide that is the one for me
will not find it either. I've found a Network Configuration option in the
menus, I assume this is wher I will set things up if Linux refuses to find
my connection one it is installed. How have others overcome this
problem?
Thank you best wishes
James
