(using KDE if that matters)
I don't know if I should be posting this in the Network section, or here, since it involves Slackware.
So yeah, I'm pretty much a newbie when it comes to Linux AND a newbie when it comes to anything involving getting the internet to work outside of windows.
I have no idea what the problem is. What files do you need me to copy? Heh.
What I've done:
I use DHCP (As I use in Windows) and enter "Charter" for the name (I don't think that even matters?) And for the domain name, well, I'm not totally sure what to put there. I'm not on a network (I'm on a lan.). I've put in the name of my computer in Windows, my local host address, my workgroup name...
My local host is belleville-UBR01-ILL-244.171.119.7.charter-stl.com Do I have to enter just a certain part of that? I've tried the whole thing, I've tried just charter-stl.com.
If I use DHCP, when I go into LIsa (Which I don't even need, but it's something I happened to come across) and try to run the Wizard, it says my Network card can't be detected.
If I use Static IP, it works fine. Last time I fooled around with Static IP, I had it to the point where it would actually "look" for the site before it would tell me it was unable to find it.
I have a Linksys ethernet card and router.
Please, help me out. And do it in "stupid" terms. Explain it easily, heh.
