RE: [newbie] ADSL setup
fully a page will load. If not, then try pinging 64.37.137.83 (www.sony.com). If you can ping the IP address, then at least you are hitting the web. It's a domain resolution problem. If you can't even ping the IP, try another known IP address, like those DNS entries I gave you above. If you are still stuck, then you aren't even getting outside your router, and possibly not even outside your PC. Try pinging your router (the Gateway IP address). If you can't get it, then you are stuck inside your PC. Time to read the Networking HOWTO and see if it can help you :-) Good luck, Dave On Friday 06 April 2001 20:58, thus spake Dan Sampsel: Dave- I have switched over to the Cisco, since the internal (infernal) Intel 2100 would not provide net access for Linux.

I haven't had the greatest experience yet with LM 7.2, and it could be because my pc is about 5 or 6 years old Dell Dimensions XPS R400 addl 256K Ram Neither 7.2 or 8.0 beta recognizes my sound card (Crystal Semiconductor) or my graphics card STB nVidia ZX 8MB, get the message Propriatery hardware go to linux.aureal.com - which doesn't appear to exist. So i have to use FBDev for graphics card w/LM 7.2 (there is no FBDev for 8.0 Beta 3, at least that I could find) There is STB 128, but that fell short on the screen resolution - shifted to right and off top of screen I have no clue what to do about sound...Altec lansing speakers are now dust collectors and paper holders. Over the past 3 weeks i have installed LM 7.2 at least 30 times, 8.0 Beta 3 at least 3 times. Alan was gracious enough to try an help with the KDE 2.1.1 update for LM 7.2, but to know avail, all I got were pages of dependancy errors. So i reinstalled LM 7.2 two more times after that because once software updates would not work, and could not send email, now I think it is stable just a few update problems LICQ and KDElibs. It's been an interesting experience - wife and kids want to kill me because none of their software works (MS windows 98 -Math Blaster and Jumpstart collections) I couldn't get LM 7.2 to install with Windows so i wiped out windows, oppps. i even tried to go back to windows 98 but when I go to format the hard drive it errors out, so i'm stuck with Linux until i get another computer for the kids and wife to put MS Windows back on. But for some unknown reason it's addictive, or maybe it's the challenge, not knowing anything about Unix but willing to stake your home life and computer on it. Total spend on my LM 7.2 forray $37, $25 for the LM 7.2 software via Walmart, $12 for CD's so my neighbor could burn LM 8.0 Beta 3 for me. If anyone wants the CD's (2) of LM8.0 Beta 3, send me a self addressed return envelope with postage paid and i'll ship them to ya. They ain't doing me any good. Drop me a note and I'll send ya my address. gwhat size is your hard drive? -- Alan Whoa, Alan! And I thought MY experiences were bad. -- Daniel T. Sampsel [EMAIL PROTECTED]
