I installed Lenny on a computer without problems. I did a net install and checked the various applications that were likely to be heavily used. All were working. Desktop: KDE. Hardware: Pentium III Coppermine, 256MB RAM.
I then moved the computer to its owner's house,having done the installation at my house. And everything internet-related has gone mad!! Now: Konqueror connects immediately to any site I have tried. Iceweasel connects intermittently: i.e. sometimes connects,sometimes doesn't. Icedove (which was fine at my house) won't connect at all. Ping works for some sites, not for others. aptitude can't connect at all. So I cannot update/upgrade or install new applications. (I could at home.) On the same connection, and using the same cables, my laptop connects well, except that ping is still erratic. I have: reset the router to factory defaults; tried another router. There is a good fast connection, and I updated Jaunty on my laptop without a problem. And the DVD RW drive is playing up in spite of being brand new so I cannot just try reinstalling. :-( Help!
