Hello List, I was trying to connect to the internet using different Live CDs including Freespire, Ubuntu 6.10, Xubuntu 6.10. through the USB port that was conne cted to the ADSL (Dlink 502-T) router. Somehow, all the above didn't manage to configure the device automatically on boot up, though Ubuntu 6.10 listed the device on the device manger.
I finally tried Dapper Drake (Kubuntu 6.06) and it automatically configured the device (allocating IP address through DHCP) and Konqueror (my smart browser - as I call it) proved that the device is working and I'm connected to the internet. I wonder, if Ubuntu has the same base as Kubuntu, why didn't ubuntu do it? AFAIK, the desktop environment is the different, but the base is same, isn't it? (This was on Dell E1405 running the Kubuntu 6.06 Live CD). If one can list steps, that I probably had to follow for Ubuntu 6.10, please let me know. -- FSF of India Associate Fellow - http://www.gnu.org.in S K Somaiya College of ASC - http://www.somaiya.edu/sksasc Send a FREE SMS to your friend's mobile from Yahoo!
