The Network Setup Wizard (not the simple one) is a bit unintuitive. You have to connect, and then request an IP address (with that Auto DHCP button). You need both, or it won't work. Weird, I know, but I went through that dance with my own LAN... I did both connect and auto DHCP I understand you ha...

Mainly because Puppy 5.2 offers more than the previous puppies and i've really been looking into getting a good video editor something like Final Cut but just not as sophisticated. I don't have any ability to write something like that. I'll look into your links and maybe I'll come across a fix somew...

I have and love the puppy series and now run them full time on both my desktop and laptop, both of them run 4.3.1, and this version has always been the best and worked on every install I've ever done. However Lucid Puppy has always given me problems. 1. It won't even boot on my compaq presario 2100 ...

First Computer: Compaq Presario 2100 2.4ghz P4 256mb ram 4.3.1 dual booting with windows XP So i tried to just boot this from cd and it seemed to not even recognize it, I made sure that it downloaded and burned ...

After looking and searching to see which chipset or wifi device would work the best I couldn't find a definite answer, there are different versions to the same model number but yet they have different chipsets and I just don't want to end up buying 4-5 different wifi usb devices to finally find one ...

I am useing the rtl8187 driver. When using the command (ifconfig wlan0 up) it made everything not work for me so I didn't include it this time. It recognizes the live network and everything. So i tried it with no encryption and it worked great but was super slow, (100 times slower than Windows ME!) ...

So I've had some spare time to work on it so I tried to setup my wifi through the command line. While entering my Wep key I kept getting messages even with trying the S:. So I entered "dmesg l grep orinoco" as well as dmesg and I kept getting error messages saying that ieeemodprobe8187_cry...

So after I couldn't find answers with this wifi device so I tried my friends Linky's wifi usb and his chipset wasn't preloaded either onto Puppy. So as of right now without spending any money I'm out of options.

Been searching and tried changing from unsecured to wep, using s: before entering my WEP passphrase, to trying to manual enter my device in recognizing my router(forget exactly what I did but I believe I found it on this forum. But so far I have found nothing that works for me, any suggestions?

Everything seemed to work up until I went to the networking wizard, I setup my wireless internet connection and it says that the connection fails even when moving right next to my router so it's not a range issue. Also the driver never stays installed after shutdown so I have to load it each time I ...

So i added the rtl8187B-k2.6.18.1.pet and it says that the driver has installed successfully. Then a text file comes up explaining that my device should be recognized but it still doesn't seem to be and when I try to load it manually I can't find it under the modules list. Where do I go from here? A...

Well last night the computer went into a frenzy and wouldn't start when trying to use 2.14 rc5, so I figure I would leave it and just boot up tomorrow and today it seems to be good. I'm trying it now to see if it worked, also upgrading to 4.2.1 did nothing. tempestuous- I can't move up to 4.3.x beca...
