I was not sure whether to put this in OSs or in Networking...
ok. this is my first time using Linux in any form and I thought that Xandros was going to be my safest bet to get started. I am running a dual-booting laptop system with these specs:
Acer Aspire 5000
AMD Turion 64 Mobile Processor - 1.6 GHz
512 MB DDR333 RAM
Broadcom 802.11g Network Adapter (integrated)
SiS 900-Based PCI Fast Ethernet Adapter (Integrated)
Connect to the internet from a Cable modem with a Linksys G-router.
I have installed Xandros 3.0 Deluxe and it has its own 10 Gig partition on an 80 Gig harddrive. I was finally able to get the desktop to boot, but no matter what I try in the Connections wizard (static or dynamic) I cannot get my laptop to connect to the internet using either the wired or the wireless adapter.
I think that Xandros is recognizing my wired adapter. It says that there is an eth0, however I cannot get my wireless to connect at all. I think a lot of the issues I have will be recitified once I can get the neccessary updates, but I need the internet for that to happen. I don't care if it is wired or not! HELP PLEASE!!
Edit: When I tell the computer to connect to the internet, I click the show log window and it gives me this:
----- Connection Start -----
> /bin/true
> /sbin/ifdown eth0
/sbin/ifdown: interface eth0 not configured
> /sbin/ifconfig eth0 down
> /sbin/ifconfig eth0 192.168.1.100 netmask 255.255.255.0 up
> /sbin/route add default gw 192.168.1.1
What does it mean eth0 not configured? and how do I fix it!?
