[Moodle] RE: wanted Ubuntu experts

Suzanne,

 

Do the updates to Ubuntu (cannot get them to work through school proxies
unfortunately) and after that you should be able to grab a thing called
connection manager which talks to USB modems.

 

You will need to enter the school proxy server settings into your
browser to access the outside world from school - or are you struggling
at home?

Hi all...

well I bought back my notebook, so hubby had something to play on too :)
When XP failed to work, I thought I was very clever in installing
UBUNTU... set up well, all good...

went to connect to the internet via LAN - nothing... I think I have
checked out every help forum to no avail.  I have typed code into the
terminal thingy, and checked admin, system, etc...

 

I can't even boot my mobile broadband USB on it. It won't run it. I was
looking forward to having at least one microsoft free puter in the
house...but if I can't connect to the internet it's not much use...

 

any thoughts?

cheers

Suz
