Access Question
 
I have been trying to get Dingo to connect to the internet and have not had any luck. When I use the connection wizard, I do not get an option to do anything other than install a driver, and none of them seem to work. The connection is an ethernet connection and the PC is a HP from around 2002. Covenant Eyes is installed on the PC, a program that monitors everything that goes over the internet connection and when it isn't logged in in windows, it severs the internet connection. Would something like this keep Dingo from connecting to the internet or should there not be a problem? If anyone can help I would appreciate it. Thanks!

I'm confused - if you have only 1 computer then 'covenant eyes' shouldn't matter. If 'covenant eyes' is on a second computer on your network and shuts down the network, then simply shut down the computer that's got it and bring up the network.

Some schools etc used to use a variety of software that provided some proprietary authentication before accessing the internet (as opposed to the usual authenticating proxy + firewall) - that sort of software would prevent anything but Windows + proprietary rubbish from accessing the internet. Well, at least until you install the Linux software that keeps that proprietary software happy.
