hey, I just got ubuntu last night, i have my main comp which i am typing on right now running on windows XP and my 100 year old laptop running on ubuntu. I normal have a wireless connection but when i installed ubuntu i talked but not finding the network caz of something to do wid a DCHP server I think that what the name is. I have no idea what that is or how to set it up!!!! I only set my other wireless up by pure chance J “I was like pining ips and allsorts”. Oh yeah I also have a Ethernet card and if you even just know how to set that up it would be kool. For help i will give +red and creds. THANKS YOU FOR ANY HELP OH YEAH GO LINUX I have better software and my comp is 2*faster and had 2* more room. Hope you can understand me my msn is [email protected] If you would like to talk more. Thanks grechy
my suggestion will be goto broadbandreports.com and check out there forums you might find an answer there.
haah well i have and i don't understand the mumbo jumbo on the sites also since i don't know what needs doiing what is thier to google. Y waste your time posting what does it achive. A least u bumped my topic up.
ok had a look around 4 you & found this maybe it helps?? Go to "system" then "administration" then "networking." Is wireless listed as an option at all? (maybe greyed out or something). If not, well, I bet your card isn't natively compatible. Sometimes card sellers will switch the chips on the inside and not give a clue (what version number is it?). If it is not in networking, then you have to install it with ndiswrapper. Get the driver *.inf file from the card maker and use this howto: http://www.ubuntulinux.org/wiki/Ndiswrappe...erm=ndiswrapper
Well, its true that many people just don't search to see if they can find an answer and just question without making any effort. Looks like you are an exception. sorry.
yes thanks you on your reply Dappem i have went to that place u were talking aboutwid my Ethernet car into directly connected into my comp and it did find a connection because ubuntu doesn't have the find the ip or DCHP automatically option. So I didn’t know my ip or my dchp adress My network card is net gear warless pc card 32- but card bus <A521 802.11b. 2.4 GHZ. Yes I don't have the Linux driver or even the windows one for my card so i went to the netgear site but they didn't have it. Also another site wanting me to pay. I have put my problem on a another form and they mentioned ndiswrapper and this is what he sed. It was a bit hard for me to follow as it was very technical I think if I can’t do it I will get my sisters boyfriend who is an IT guy to do it for me. CYA grechy
