Ok, I'm at wits end here... 3 days and 5 ... yes FIVE installs of 98 later I've decided that I HATE windows... and would realy realy love to dump it. However, My school (Milligan, www.milligan.edu) uses a Microsoft Proxy Sever/Client v2.0 (MAJOR YUCK) on the schools network... and I can't figure out how to get linux to have Inet access. I've gotten to the point where I get a Ip address from the DHCP server ... but I still can't ping anything .. via Ip address's or hostnames ...
I would REALY love to dump this crappy os... I just NEED the net access.... I don't know anything about networking ... and I know I'm shy on details here ... but I don't even know what details are needed .... Any help whatsoever would be GREATLY appreciated... TIA -Kevin Poorman.
