Thanks to anyone with smarts and thats everyone besides me.
Seems like internet connections are common with ubuntu. I have read a lot of the post concerning connections.
I really like ubuntu, all seems great, except I cannot connect to the internet. I am using ubuntu over windows xp. I am 50 yo and really really stupid concerning computer lingo. I absolutely hate MS stuff and the way they disregard their customers. I have been a customer of theirs since I had a commadore vic 20. Anyway...
I tried to disable the roaming and turn automatic. I tried to manual set dns. I pinged several places, nothing. I went to terminal and typed in ifconfig eth1 and got nothing.
I am using at&t through the phone through my router. I have a presario laptop with windows xp. Going through xp I have no problems connecting.
Thanks to anyone that may be able to lead me through to a solution. P.S. if you choose to help me, please remember my mind is old and does not compute like you younger folks do. Thank you.
