Re: lug_: Network Card troubles

[Newbie Joseph Ssekandi]

Ziggy is right. However, I am not going to be anywhere near that machine for at least three weeks that's why I have not replied any of the postings regarding this problem. I have been declared a prisoner for that period.

OOPs that reminds me. Also for that period, Lule George William will be using my address for his postings but that doesn't mean that we share the same views on his submissions. We just happen to be prisoners together and the mail address he diverts his mail to when he is outside Martyrs University is not subscribed to LUG.

Will just make sure he signs his mails clearly.

Thanks all for your help. Will follow it up later.
