Hi,
I have a friend who's got a Windows box and have been trying to get him off of that. I installed 32 bit LL2.8 on a different drive from his Windows install but he's not able to get onto the Web using Linux. He tells me it shows a connect is happening but when he does a search or tries to access a website in Firefox, nothing comes up. Linux works fine, it is just he cannot use the web or do a search.
The other thing is that he's on a DSL connection and it's been a while since I dealt with that, I am not sure what I should be telling him to check out. Shouldn't my friend be able to get onto the Web since DSL is always active ? I forgot if there is some kind of special script that needs to be done.
I know this is not the best explanation of his problem but if you have any suggestions of what to check out/look for, that would be most helpful.
Thanks,
