Hi, Two days ago I installed Debian 6.0.2 which is first Linux system in my life, and my experience is none
NetworkManager is default application for managing network on Debian I had to download some firmware package to get Internet connection running, and now I have problem that I can't figure out how to set my direct cable connected Windows XP node. Windows PC has static IP set to 192.168.1.2 and Debian PC 192.168.1.1 with netmask 255.255.255.0. Also I enabled remote desktop on XP node. NetworkManager shows 'device not managed' for Wired Device Looking for easier solution I downloaded Wicd, which manages LAN things fine. Remote Desktop runs fine and I can access file system from XP. But with this configuration, my Internet connection drops, so I can either have Internet (without Wicd running) or have LAN connection (without Internet connection). I guess it's bad idea to have both programs running but as I can't manage either to do what I want, I thought to ask here as NetworkManager is default application in Debian anyway, for some reason or another I imagine solution is easy, but like I said my Linux experience is bare minimal Thanks in advance _______________________________________________ networkmanager-list mailing list [email protected] http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/networkmanager-list
