| 748432 | 2009-02-16 22:15:00 | The question of a newbie: I run XP broadband, and connection wizard of Ubuntu suggests ...well I'm not sure what it suggests, but I hoped it was possible to be Internet connected XP and Ubuntu without having to change specs each time I log on to Ubuntu. My long term aim is to use Ubuntu solely. When I follow instructions to the letter, it seems I forego my XP internet for Ubuntu and vice versa. I don't really want to do that. Love your help in all matters I read, greatly appreciative of the time many of you take, you have opened up a world for me. |

| 748434 | 2009-02-16 22:30:00 | I don't really understand your question. Are you running ubuntu off the cd every time or do you select which operating system you want to use at startup? | shermo (12739) | ||
| 748435 | 2009-02-16 22:39:00 | I select OS at startup, cheers | bernz (14430) | ||
| 748436 | 2009-02-16 22:57:00 | Do you mean sync your bookmarks/passwords etc? | Blam (54) | ||
| 748437 | 2009-02-17 04:51:00 | No its not about passwords etc...When I try to connect to Internet in Ubuntu, I am told that another system is configured, i will have to replace. But I want to be able to use either without each time having to configure pOp isp mail etc, as I said I'm a newbie. I know I'm not giving enough info but I don't know what to give....sowwy guys | bernz (14430) | ||
| 748438 | 2009-02-17 05:12:00 | Unusual when I was dual booting ubuntu and XP they both just worked, connected to the net but then I never ran my email client under ubuntu as I use Outlook and didn't want my emails in 2 different places. So I don't know why your having problems | gary67 (56) | ||
