617612 2007-12-04 03:49:00 You using wireless or wired connection?

i have both, i get the same result. IP, subnet, dns, gateway are all correct, just no actual outside connectivity, ie, if i surf to www.pressf1.co.nz using firefox in ubuntu, it keeps saying at the bottom "connecting to ww.pressf1.co.nz" and no progress, checked the network settings in the advanced panel of firefox, not using a proxy, i even turned off the encryption to see if that made a diference. It didnt

617613 2007-12-04 03:52:00 Yup, I cant remember anything coming up for the network info .

When I was on dialup or broadband .

After it was installed I rebooted, it worked .

The only thing the setup asked for, was my userrname / pw, where and what hdd I wanted to put Ubuntu on . That was it .

617614 2007-12-04 04:03:00 Agreed also 7.10 has loads of newer drivers even a good range of USB printers and scanners.Do not fiddle too much with it tho (or with any linux if you are a newbie)7.10
will do most things out of the box and updates are pretty regular.

funny.....7.0.4 worked okay...ish, at least it recongised my wireless. 7.10 says its its unknown o.O yet still gets an address

maybe i shud return to windows =(
