why cant i connect to the internet with ubuntu?

Posted on March 13, 2012 by admin| 2 Comments

ill start off by saying its a live cd. do you need to install it first and then set up the internet connection? i have a 2wire 1100 modem. the way i have it set up is i have the modem connected to the usb port on my computer. i then have a phone cord connected from the modem to the phone jack in my room. i am running windows xp with service pack 2. my computers keyboard driver is currupted and i dont have a windows disc so im trying to install ubuntu linux. i already have a live cd ready. i tried netstat and it came up with a bunch of crap but it said everything was connected. i ran ifconfig and it didnt work either. I need some help and thanks in advance.

How to reinstall network manager for ubuntu with no internet connection?

Posted on January 8, 2012 by admin| 2 Comments

I installed this program called wicd. Horrible mistake!! It wouldn’t work with my wifi. And now I can’t install network manager, because I can’t connect to the internet because wicd won’t work (nor will removing it). Wired won’t work either. i’ve googled wicd, but every webpage on the net seems to be singing its praise, which means i can’t find how to solve my proglem. Yes, i will remove the stupid program. But tell me, how do I get network manager up and running again?
I am NOT reinstalling my system.

please, i just want my wifi back!!!

p.s. the live CD will connect to the internet, which is how I’m asking this question right now. can i manipulate it to download the package to my linux home directory? (i have 7.10 gusty gibbon installed over my whole hard drive)

Wireless Internet Connection- KNOPPIX Live?

Posted on December 9, 2011 by admin| 2 Comments

Could I use Wine Tools to emulate windows and run netgear wireless assistant? Would that work or is there an easier way. I don’t want to install any linux distros, just run live cds. Is there any distro that will easily let m connect to a wireless network?

Virtual Machine (for Linux)?

Posted on November 23, 2011 by admin| 1 Comment

I want to learn more about Linux and the different distros before I try to dual boot or anything of the sort. I tried live cds, but you can’t learn much from those, as you can’t save anything and download anything without having to keep resetting an internet connection. I tried running Linux through Windows Virtual PC 2007 and 2004, but neither of them work. I’ve heard of VMware, but which one do you download? I’ve also heard of Virtual Box and am considering trying it.

So which download is the right one?
