networking woes + headaches

2009-07-31 Thread jeremy jozwik 
good morning list, im having some network connection issues that i
hope i can resolve here without too much pain.

issue 1, im on a laptop and sometimes i forget to plug in my ethernet
wire. if i connect after login i cannot browse the internet. the
network connection lists eth1 as idle and sometimes send/receive but
no webpages will load. so, what is the equivalent of fedoras ./service
network restart [bash: ./service: No such file or directory] in
debian?

along with that, how the heck do i connect to a wifi!!
if /finally/ got my wifi light to activate and the device is listed in
ifconfig, wifiradar also sees a few wireless networks in range but i
see no connection button. how does one go about latching onto a
signal? im sure it is something massively simple that i am
overlooking.

thanks anyone who helps!

Issue one :

-as root : /etc/init.d/networking start

Issue two :

-maybe it would be easier for you to install network-manager.

A good day.

Maybe... The first think I remove on my ubuntu boxes is the
network-manager, because it do thinks without notifying me. This has
wasted a lot a my time. Possible that I'm too old-fashioned for such
toys.

just my 0.02 cent

I strongly dislike nm myself, but for the time being, I thought it'd 
make his life a little easier.

Use wicd or network-manager if you need such functionality
convieniently. But I recommend you to lean basic hard ways too.

Start reading from here.

Even better, install wicd, which does essentially the same thing, but  
actually works and doesn't seem to cause as many problems as  
network-manager.
