hmm. Ubuntu installed

no internet
screen resolution dodgy - it's a widescreen laptop and the text is very blurry - changed to 1024x768 and it's better but text is huuuuge

no internet.

This was always my problem with linux in the past, getting the damn thing online.

Do you know, that surprises me? When I first installed Gutsy, all I needed to do was plug in the ethernet cable, and presto! I was online.

2 weeks ago I installed Hardy on the schleptop, plugged in ethernet cable, boom! I'm online.

What ISP are you using? And are you trying to connect to wired or wireless?

wireless, which I suspect is my problem. Tried it on my old PC with internal PCI wireless doohicky, no joy. Tried it on laptop, no joy.

The only way I got it working this time was to get two computers next to each other -one running windows with access to the 'net so I could type in whatever error message I was getting at the time!
