Can you get the DM111P to work direct into a pc? Then you know it's connection is fine? Is the modem connected to the right plug on the router - mine is labelled "internet"? Have you set the DNS addresses of your provider into the router and/or linux? There are so many possibilities even before we touch the wireless stuff. -- -- Andrew Otte Laidley, Queensland Australia [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- -- ubuntu-au mailing list ubuntu-au@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-au
Re: streamlining for eee pc
Has anybody had any luck with a good wi-fi manager? The default Xandros had a beauty, and I was disappointed with (x)ubuntu's default.

I'm running the Beta Hardy 8.04 on my Home machines and it's a bloody ripper. Best Beta OS build I've ever used... faster and very stable. Boot and shutdown times are greatly improved as well... -- Ubuntu Hardy 8.04 The less you know, the more you believe. - Bono The more you know the less you need to say. - Jim Rohn "Ph'nglui mglw'nafh Cthulhu R'lyeh wgah'nagl fhtagn" :-P -- ubuntu-au mailing list ubuntu-au@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-au

linksys help needed
Hi Guys I'm trying to set up my wireless router without any luck to speak of as yet. The router is a linksys WRT54G and the modem a netgear DM111P. From what I gather on the lights on the linksys it sees the net thru the modem as the internet light is on when I connect the hardware, but I still can't get out onto the net at all from any pc even over the ethernet cables so have had to resort to my old netgear wired router just to keep the net going my end. I've tried going thru the manual and it hasn't helped me nor have the various sites I checked online, not even the ubuntu documentation. Anyone know how I might get this hardware combo going or is there a better router/modem combo which can buy here in Aus Pref to get working what I have of course James -- ubuntu-au mailing list ubuntu-au@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-au
Re: streamlining for eee pc
I am using eeeXubuntu, and find that it runs pretty well on the ol' eee You should uninstall everything you arent using, or start using the SD slot as a primary storage area. I got rid of the included office apps to put on OOo and set up a LAMP workspace. I use Bluefish for editing my code. I have previously used gcpp as my compiler [before I bricked it the first time] I have heard stories about Ubuntu running better than Xubuntu, but I have found the inverse is true.

streamlining for eee pc
Hi Guys Got my eee pc 4g yesterday and have installed gutsy Gibbon without a hitch and been thru all the things in the tutorials to minimize disk writes, etc. Just wondering if anyoneone else knows what I might ditch program ways to free up some more space. Also since I hope to do some c++ programming on it would I be better off just using gcc thru a make utility and forget about a gui like kdevelop?
