Hi everyone, I just installed Puppy Linux on my old Acer Aspire laptop (512 mib ram, 16 mib graphic card, amd sempron processor, 37 gig storage) and I must say: puppy runs lightning fast! I have never ever had an Operating System that runs this fast, I thought Ubuntu was pretty fast but this is just insane... Anyways, I have a wireless modem (Belgacom Bbox2) about 5 feet away from my laptop, but my laptop cannot connect to it. This is what I do to connect: Menu > Connect > Pwireless wireless scanner > [my connection at home gets listed, cell 01 essid mindfusion-network, ch 1, quality 65\70, signal\noise -45\?, encryp WEP, MAC adress -which i wont display here obviously] > i press connect > i typ in the WEP key > running dhcpcd to try and obtain an IP adress > then it lists my IP adress > I press ok and i return to the menu> I try to browse the internet but it says page not found and then what do i do?? |

Maybe try checking that the file /etc/resolv.conf isn't a broken link or something funny. _________________ DEATH TO SPREADSHEETS - - - Classic Puppy quotes - - - Beware the demented serfers! |
