Hi Guys,

Just wanted to let you know that I fixed my "Connect no Browse" issue myself. Just to clarify, all network tools would connect to default gateway with a proper IP address, for Eth0 and Wlan0, but would not browse or surf the internet.

I finally found an article about file 'resolv.conf' which Frisbee seems to set up twice in both /etc/ and /etc/ppp/. But what it does is create an infinite broken loop, because it clears your file information out, and then makes each instance of the file a symbolic link to the other... so perpetual loop.

What I did was copy the information from the correct file:

nameserver 127.0.0.1
domain "your_isp.com"
nameserver "your_default_gateway" (usually 192.168.1.1)
nameserver "your_isp_dns_server_ip"

copy and paste that with proper quoted information, and save each instance in the above directories (no linking). And it works!

You may want to rename original resolv.conf as resolv2.conf first, so when you save the new one, you can delete the old one. Simple!

@webtelly - thanks for the fix

@aarf - slacko seems quicker than some of the older Pups, if Android has got some special tricks hopefully there'll be part of the features merged to the mainstream kernel

I saw that combo in the forum, but was not sure how to install xpupsay. Any walkthroughs available?

Many Thanks.

Hi to everybody!
Completely newbie, I hope this is the right place to post my problem:

I'm having problems with my wireless connection. I have lupu libre 5.2.8 installed. All works fine, but internet connection. I have a usb wireless connection, my notebook detect it with no problem, but somehow it cannot connect because, literally "DHCP client failed to negotiate with wireless network". I tried Frisbee and installed the right packages, but no success. Now the message is different, though: when I try to get a network profile, I am asked the ASCII or HEX key.And when I give the key there's a pop up with a message like "Set ASCII key failed" I'm pretty sure I introduced the right key (I tried four times just in case).
Anyone can help with that? Thanks a lot for your help in advance.
