Do you have your DNS settings set properly? Try to connect to the internet and ping a server via it's IP (152.163.15.37 is a perfect example, one of AOL's up servers). If that doesn't go through, your internet connection isn't good, you aren't really connected to the internet. If it does go

Have you entered DNS addresses in /etc/resolv.conf? If you can get online but not move around that sounds like the problem. /etc/resolv.conf is like this: search worldnet.att.net nameserver 204.127.129.1 nameserver 204.127.160.1 This is mine. Your ISP should have given you numbers similar to

Is there a way to have it boot directly to the desktop? There's a way to setup the login process so that after logging in you will automatically go into X Windows. You have to edit a file called INITTAB which is located in the /etc folder. This specifies the runlevel that linux starts at.
