Hi Carl
Let me move down the list a little--
When you say "I try to get in to the router" just exactly what are you
doing? And what are the symptoms of "it refuses the connection"?
When I go to 192.168.0.1 this comes up in a box:
"192.168.0.1" refused the connection.
I assume 192.168.0.1 is the IP of your router. For what purpose are you
connecting to the router? To change a setting?
Are you using a web browser to connect to it?
Is it possible something else on your network is configured to
192.168.0.1? Try having the Linux machine be the only one plugged into
the router.
Then I have to click on Enter repeatedly (dozens of times) to finally
get through.
Part of the installation process is: "Configure the Network" and
"Configure the Network with DHCP". When I do that in a new
installation, it goes through very quickly and I continue on with the
installation.
Once installed the system is installed it usually works fine. The
problem never comes up until I come across something, like Azureus, that
tells me I need to enable port forwarding. ("The problem nevers comes
up", but then, until then I had had no reasons to get into the router
settings.) Once I do that (and it always works fine), then it seems
like I also have to do port forwarding for POP and SMTP because they
start having a problem connecting (very slow to not connecting at all).
In trying to set up POP and SMTP I would quite often run into the
"192.168.0.1" refused the connection." message, but I could get through
in a couple of tries and set up the port forwarding. Again, once done,
things would work fine.
Port forwarding would be going the opposite direction, unless you're
running your own POP and SMTP server and need to access it from the
Internet. When you set up port forwarding in the router, what
destination IP address did you put in?
Have you tried ping?
ping www.google.com
ping 4.2.2.2
ping 192.168.0.1
What do you have configured as the server name for POP and SMTP in your
email program?
