Thank you!It works great,especialy your version

I just checked,and it seems my modem has a built in router(called Versalink).Who knew It never occured to me to check this out before using puppy.Learning all the time!

Well,I seem to be able to do both.I have my phone line coming from my wall,to my modem(westell 327W)to my computer.No router at all,unless one is built in,I really dont know ,Ill check and let you know.I have been using this setup with many distros over a 2 and a half year period,and always setup wa...

that was the first one....I always type xwin first,just dont know what to type after it.....

I just downloaded the enlightenment 16 for puppy window manager from puppy software installer,but cant figure out how to start it up.I went to the prompt and typed everything I could think of(e-16,enlightenment-16,etc)but couldnt get it to start.Am I doing something wrong?

Well,Ive been doing just that(when the DHCP connection craps out,every third time I boot up,I use rp-pppoe to connect to the internet with my Westell 327W DSL modem)It works fine,and I dont mind having to restart it every time I boot up.It works better than the Wizard setup,because it never dosent w...

IT WORKS!!! Well,kinda....It kills the timeout,which is great,but I still have to restart my eth0 connection,which is a joke with rp-pppoe.I started and rebooted 4 times to test this,as well as a complete shutdown and restart.Thanks a million for this,Phil!That was a very annoying thing you just eli...

Im gonna give this a shot in 2.10r1,and let you know what happens,thanks for the info!

That is EXACTTLY what is happening with me,either it recognises my modem,or it dosent.My modem has to reset itself before I can continue...sometimes it takes awhile.I agree that a shorter timeout would be apreciated,as 60 secs is a bit long to wait.Never had this problem before with puppy,been using...

Mine says: echo "Trying to get IP address from DHCP server (60sec timeout)..." rm /etc/dhcpc/dhcpcd-eth0.pid 2>/dev/null #if left over from last session, causes trouble. rm /etc/dhcpc/dhcpcd-eth0.cache 2>/dev/null #ditto rm /etc/dhcpc/dhcpcd-eth0.info 2>/dev/null #ditto dhcpcd eth0 I have ...

I made a mistake when stating my problem with my connection,I should have said that I was timing out while loading up,but am still able to log into puppy.It says something like this while loading: "eth0 linkup 100mbps full duplex trying to get IP address from DCHP(60 sec timeout)" then it ...

Hi all,just posted this question on Linux Questions,just thought Id try here :D .My computer hangs up on every 2nd startup, for a minute or more,because my etho connection wont respond(it says it recognises it,but it wont accept its query),and then I have to restart my etho connection again. Any way...

Now I know why I love puppys.......THANK YOU,THANK YOU.THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The only thing that I cant do with Puppy is print...the system you use is seriously outdated.I understand that CUPS isnt small,but it can be made as a dotpup for folks with modern printers.If this has already been done,then please point me to it,thanks!

There are lots of folks,myself included who do not use floppy drives anymore.You could make the boot disk a bootable CD instead,or at least make it a file we could burn ourselves.Id love to install it,but cant without a floppy..........unless there are other suggestions?

I went on my old distro,Linspire,clicked on my connection,and bingo,there it was,my DNS server IP address!!Typed it in and walla:all is right with the world,and now Puppy is my main distro! Thanks to all,great forum!

I did all of that,except I dont know my DNS setup,or where to get it.Keep in mind that I am recieveing and releasing packets with the set up I have,using RP-PPPoe,I just cant get mozilla to realise I am online.It keeps saying Im not.Its very frustrating,as the only thing stopping me from using puppy...

Sorry,I forgt to say I am using the latest version,1.0.3,with mozilla,not puppy unleashed.Thanks!!

:D Hi all! New to puppy,and I think its great,but I cant seem to figure out how to get online with my Verizon dsl account.I am hardwired to my laptop(not wireless),and I usually use a pppoe to connect,but the pppoe included with puppy,while I seem to get it to work(Ithink),wont let me connect with m...
