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
I have a similar problem with FC6 and a Netgear DG632 router. IP address gets assigned dynamically, but firefox and yum (and perhaps other programs) cannot connect to the internet. However, Konqueror has no problem, just like your experience. Firefox *can* browse by IP address, ping works from the console, traceroute does, but haltingly so. Some say it may have to do with DNS caching, but I am yet to verify that. Surprisingly, a default live run from a knoppix dvd saw firefox working faultlessly. Therefore, it may mean that there are some implementation differences that konqueror seems to overstep. Any expert opinions? -- http://mm.glug-bom.org/mailman/listinfo/linuxers
