I have been trying to use my wired Broadband MODEM which I use on my desktop PC in Windows on my laptop until I can get my Desktop PC running Edgy on the Hard drive I bought. However I keep getting error messages when I plug in the MODEM into the port on my Compaq laptop. I get an error message when trying to download messages in Evolution because it tells me it is unable to download, I can't seem to ping any address and w3m says "can't load" and whatever the page I am trying to open. I was told that Network Manager is a difficult application to set up and that I wouldn't need it but I can't understand why if that is the case my connection to my BT account is not being recognised which means I will have to wait until possibly April before I can access the Internet via my wireless network card which does work in Ubuntu. Before I had problems trying to change my software synth my laptop did appear to access the Network using my BT Voyager MODEM which meaned I was able to update packages so there must be something which someone set when it did work which did allow me to make a switch from Wireless to wired unless this person used Network Manager I had tried to install which was why both connection types were recognised. I looked in Network Settings and the other place it might be in Gnome but if it was something that had been set to get it to work I don't understand enough about Ubuntu to be able to find it.
