Since my internet connection does not seem to be configured, I am wondering if it would be possible to get the configuration settings from my Ubuntu installation, which is talking to the internet just fine, and manually enter them into the right files in Puppy?

eth1

In addition to this I can browse the web in Windows and then boot Puppy, changing nothing but the OS I am running (everything about the box stays unchanged) but Puppy still will not connect.

Yes I have four leds. One is power, one says info is coming down from the satellite, one says info is going up to the satelite, and the last says the network is connected. I am not sure the last is on when I am in Puppy but the other three are.

Okay /etc/resolv.conf is as follows: # nameservers go in here That's it the one line. looks like a comment. The box did automatically connect under that other operating system when it was installed. All the tech guy did was call up google in the webpage, it was redirected to the isp and automaticall...

Hi. :D I am trying to configure my internet connection in Puppy. I used Barry's simple network setup and everything seemed to go fine. I have a satellite dish that connects to my ISP. I connected to eth1 (there is a cable going from my computer to a box my ISP gave me and this box is connected to my...

Ok, I have done that then I burned another CD and tried the whole process over again from the start to make sure I hadn't made any mistakes. Still no luck so the diagnostic file is attached to this post.

Ok, I have made burned a new CD and deleted the two files on hard drive then reinstalled and installed the .pet files. Now unfortunately I get the error message at the top of the dial-up window "Warning! No modem detected. You cannot dial out."

Okay, great, I have all the .pet files. Now how do I install them?

Hi there. I have an Agrere Systems PCI-SV92PP Soft Modem on COM3 and Puppy 4.3.1 iso on CD. I would like to try out this fix but I am extremely rusty at Unix (Comp. Sci. major 20 years ago). Could somebody give me the exact steps and commands needed? Sorry to be a pain. I promise to come back and te...

Okay I'm now following this discussion over here http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewto ... 0&start=60 to see how things turn out.

Okay, I'm embarassed. Turns out I was using 4.3.1 all along and I just spent 12 hrs downloading it again. My machine isn't too old, I bought it in the vista era although I had XP installed instead. Any suggestions for what version to try next? I can't afford too many tries because my IP will charge ...

Okay great, I will try Puppy 4.3.1 and let you know how it goes. Thanks to the both of you!

Wow, thanks for all the hard work you have put in for me.

My machine is a desktop.

I will try the links you gave and download the iso you suggested but I will wait to see if anyone comes up with any other suggestions before I invest the time to download it (56k modem ~10 hours). Thanks again!

Okay I have looked at the links you posted but there doesn't seem to be any text files to tell me what is what so I wouldn't know which distro to try. Any suggestions?

According to the control panel I have an Agrere Systems PCI-SV92PP Soft Modem on COM3. I just downloaded the iso file from the front page yesterday so I have the current version booting from CD. I have not looked at the alternative versions you posted but I am doing that now. Sorry if this is a doub...

Agrere Systems PCI-SV92PP Soft Modem on C

When I try to connect to the internet using my dial up modem I get the following: --> WvDial: Internet dialer version 1.53 --> Initializing modem. --> Sending: ATZ --> Sending: ATQ0 --> Re-Sending: ATZ --> Modem not responding. My modem works fine with WindowsXP. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
