House wireless/wired router: choices? Plus wireless neophyte questions.
Hi folks. Been a long time since I've posted to this list. I have exactly zero experience with wireless -- I've never owned a laptop, and have just never needed it. My gf, as part of her job, needs to bring home a laptop with that other OS on it, and wants wireless access to our broadband. We currently have a DSL connection: phone to DSL modem, ethernet out the back of the DSL modem to our one desktop machine. I'm assuming that what I want is a wireless router with LAN ports: ethernet cable from the DSL modem to the wireless router, and ethernet cable from the wireless router to the desktop machine while her laptop talks to the router by wireless. We have a static IP address; I'm presuming that this wired/wireless router will need to be configured with that address, and then will do NAT with the desktop and the laptop. 1. Does what I just wrote make sense? Am I getting this correctly? 2. If I'm on the right track, what about IP addresses for the desktop and the laptop? Do I have to set them manually to addresses within a non-routeable block? Or do such routers typically do DHCP or something like that? 3. What about configuring the router (with the static IP address, any DHCP operating parameters, etc.)? Since my desktop will be wired, I'd like to be able to configure the router using my desktop -- which means using Linux. If an application on an accompanying DVD is needed to configure the router, I'm guessing that app is only going to work on that other operating system. Or are there routers out there that are configurable from a Linux machine in a straightforward manner? 4. (most important) For someone moderately competent who somehow has made it this far without learning much about wireless, what would you suggest I read? Googling turns up thousands of pages of FAQs and HOWTOs and so on (some of which are ancient -- but that doesn't mean they're not useful, of course).

Setup problem with Old sony vaio PCG-Z505SX notebook
Hi, everyone I'm trying to install debian to old sony vaio PCG-Z505SX notebook which has no bootable cd-rom drive. So, I'm installing debian with USB floppy drive. When I setup debian using installing diskette, it displays following messages in setup procedures: -- Floppy drive(s) : fd0 is unknown type 12 (usb?), fd1 is 2.88M AMI BIOS floppy0 : no floppy controlllers found Cannot load floppy module Giving up! /init: 44: sleep : not found Kernel panic - not syncing: Attempted to kill init ! - How can I install debian in vaio PCG-Z505SX using usb floppy drive ? Thanks in advance.
Re: Gnome Nautilus: How to Open Same Folder in Same Window
Hi, My steps: 0) Show the Desktop, and there is one folder A; 1) Double click folder A's icon and open the folder A in the window #1; 2) Show the Desktop; 3) Double click folder A's icon again, but this time a new window is open to show folder A's content. We call the second one as window #2. Window #1 and window #2 are two different windows. And I prefer window #1 is refocused on when I double click folder A's icon again.

Thank you very much. The "radeon" driver in experimental works fine with the builtin video on the 780G -- just no acceleration. Whether "no acceleration" is a problem or not depends on what you want to do. On my system it's plenty fast enough as-is but I'm not trying to play 3d games either. Should be 3d support by next year I guess. -Miles -- 97% of everything is grunge -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
