Hi Russell<br><br>What you need to do is this<br><br>Go to the KMenu<br><br>Open it and go to the System Menu<br><br>In that you will find a subfolder called Start-Stop Network<br><br>Go in to that menu and click on the Start Network Icon, you will get a popup asking for the root password, enter it and click Ok. You should get a popup telling you that you have connected to the network and what IP Address you are given.
<br><br>Hope that helps<br><br><br><div><span class="gmail_quote">On 2/15/07, <b class="gmail_sendername">Russell jarvis</b> <<a href="mailto:colouredstatic@gmail.com">colouredstatic@gmail.com</a>> wrote:</span><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin-top: 0; margin-right: 0; margin-bottom: 0; margin-left: 0; margin-left: 0.80ex; border-left-color: #cccccc; border-left-width: 1px; border-left-style: solid; padding-left: 1ex">
Dear computer bank volunteer/employee,<br><br>I recently purchased a computer from the computer bank on the 25/1/07. I am having a lot of trouble connecting it to the Internet (via a router), and I wonder if some one might be able to give advice about network connection in KDE. Any advice would be much appreciated.
<br><br>I am using a GUI approach:<br>I went into control centre and logged in as administrator. <br>I put in the typical values for gateway and IP.<br>Changed the proxy to direct Internet connection.<br><br>The problems I encounter:
<br><br>Every time I try to enable the Ethernet connection it appears to be enabled for one second, and then promptly resumes being disabled.<br><br>When I try to configure the Ethernet connection I get the error message:
<br>The application KDE control module crashed and caused the signal 11 (SIGSEGV).<br>When I click on backtrace it says no debugging symbols found.<br><br>pinging the IP of the router says something like:<br>network not found.
<br><br>Thanks<br><span class="sg">Russell Jarvis<br></span></blockquote></div><br><br clear="all"><br>-- <br>John Simpson<br><br><a href="http://nighthawk.mine.nu/">http://nighthawk.mine.nu/</a><br>"Quantum Physics: The dreams stuff is made of."
