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.

i upgraded to windows 7 about a year ago and i like it a lot.much better than crap vista.but i have been playing around with some linux live cds of late.i tried ubuntu and passed on that.tried fedora 12 and liked very much.but my favorite linux distro i have looked at is pclinuxos 2010 .it blew me away.if it wasn’t for windows 7 i would dump windows all together and go pure linux.my problem is i like windows 7 and pclinuxos a lot.what little i find on the net says windows 7 and pclinuxos 2010 don’t get along.can i dual boot 7 and pclinuxos 2010 or do i have to make a choice.would love to have them both.thanks to anyone who can give me a straight answer.

Ubuntu Dual-Boot Windows 7?

Posted on August 3, 2010 by admin| Leave a comment

Ok so i just got my Ubuntu 10.04 Desktop LTS in the mail. i am using the live cd so it is basically a dual boot. but when i get into ubuntu, it says for my ethernet and wireless that it is disconnected. One time when it booted, it said for the wireless that the device was not ready. i have read around and apparently windows is screwing with my Linux. Is there a way around this crap without uninstalling windows? P.S. I have used ndisgtk.

About a month ago my 80gb ps3′s blue ray lazer went to crap, so me being impatient just went out and bought another playstation 3 (im addicted to cod mw2). Anyways i want to install linux on my old ps3, considering it still runs. But the problem is i cant boot a live cd. So can you boot ubuntu on the ps3 through a thumb drive?
