Well I'm still not there. I've never used a router before. In XP it was pretty simple, I really did not have to do a thing, the SB found the wireless network, all I had to do was set a password for encryption.
So. Do I need to go in and set up my router again while running Ubuntu instead of running XP? Am I going to have to change router settings every time I boot to a different OS? I have gone into the wireless network set up on my SB, but it will not find the network. It assigns an IP address automatically, then eventually asks for the IP address of the SS. The IP address that I can see on the SS settings doesn't work. Also, I followed the instructions to get the file path for my music folder (thanks for those instructions, I did not know how to do that with Ubuntu), copied and pasted, tried to scan, and get the message "opps, media/simpledrive/music does not appear to be a valid directory". The simpledrive is a USB external HHD. I can play music off the external drive with Totem. I really want to like Linux, and I will keep trying, but you have to admit, MS does make it simple. Thanks for your efforts. I am a NOOB with Linux, and just trying to see if I can get it to do everything I need/want my computer to do. -- mgh ------------------------------------------------------------------------ mgh's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=10308 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=35254 _______________________________________________ unix mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/unix
