Thank you for your message. Yes I was trying to connect to the internet. I followed the instructions in section 6, as far as 6.12 which says "select the DNS tab and enter the DNS addresses of your ISP". The DNS address appears to be 212.139.132 but the instructions do not tell me how to enter this number. If I just type that number in the blue rectangle headed "DNS Servers" nothing happens. I tried clicking on the box called "+ Add" and the words "type address" appeared in the rectangle headed "DNS Servers" and I typed the number 212.139.132 in the place where "type address" had appeared. Then, following instruction 13, I clicked CLOSE. Then I tried clicking on my Firefox browser icon, but the machine behaved as though there was no connection, so I went on to instruction 7 "Connect to a server". I have just tried this again, choosing Public FTP when I got to 7.1.2. When I got to "7.1.3 Enter the server address" I typed in the number 212.139.132 . I left the other boxes blank. Then, when I clicked Connect (instruction 7.1.7) a window appeard which said Cannot display location "ftp.// [email protected]/" So I was stuck. If you want to know how it is that I can communicate with you now the answer is that I am now using a different modem, not the UBUNTU one.
