General :: How Can I Continue Linux Experience With No Internet Connection?
Jan 18, 2010
Well; soon my site will be down and my internet too.I am still unemployed and can't pay my bills.I wish I could get a job in Linux somewhere, but it doesn't seem possible.Does anyone get paid in Linux? So, was wonderin how can I continue my Linux experience with no internet connection?And, Does anyone know of a hosting site that would hold or distribute my creations URL...they will be deleted from servers in about a week.I only pay $7 a month for my site; but its $40 a month for internet connection.
I want to configure Internet connection in my linux os but don't know how to do it. In Windows XP the method is quite simple but in linux I know know what to do about, It has been very challenging for me to do it but don't knw how ot do it.This file I have to type at run "RASPPPOE.inf" to get list of available Internet providers.
In windows I do it in this way- 1.First go to My network places ->View network connection->Local area network->Properties->Internet Protocol (TCP/IP)->Install->protocol->Microsoft TCP/IP version 6(select)->Have disk->(then browse to get RASPPPOE.inf file from PPPOE folder)->click OK->select PPP over Ethernet protocol->Click OK->>continue anyway(two times if asked)-> Apply->OK.
2.Then got to run ->Type raspppoe (Enter)->one window will open->select the LAN card (where internet cable is connected)->Click on Query available services->Select Internet provider name and->Click on Create dial up connection.-> Then dial up will be created on Desktop where I enter my username and password to start internet.
I just installed gewsense on my dell studio xps. I have a dual boot with windows vista. Problem is I cant get the internet to work via lan or wireless. I have read it could be incompatibility with my hardware but wanted to know what can I do to troubleshoot and resolve.
I came to know about namebench tool while working on a setup of DNS server, test results showed some servers working pretty fast. After investigating different options and many tests i managed to keep a good rank of DNS slave server. The idea was to keep checking available fastest DNS servers in the region and modify named.conf accordingly.As many of us are not building a DNS server, I am not going to discuss it in details here, however in case you are using some flavour of GNU/Linux, UNIX you can use following method to have a faster internet experience.
To have it accomplished we are going to use namebench, cron and a small script. namebench looks for the fastest DNS (Domain Name System) servers accessible to your computer.
I would like to have all traffic from the ethernet connection out through the wireless (basically using the box as a router) however I am having some trouble doing this.
I have done this before on Windows however I am having some trouble doing this on linux, I have tried using Squid Proxy however I am having some trouble using configuring/using it.
I am using Yellow Dog Linux however I am willing to change to any other distro as long as it is compatable with PS3 (as this is what im using linux on)

I have an Ubuntu development server and a Windows 7 workstation. I use Windows Gvim to edit files on the linux server, over a samba connection.Saving files from Windows change the Linux permissions in weird way depending on the Windows app I'm using and also depending on whether there's a file extension or not.Here are some testsNo extension; Notepad2: 644 to 764

I have been having difficulty with my BT Broadband over the last few weeks, it has now been resolved, but I can no longer connect to either my home network or the internet from my laptop though when I re-installed windows 7 the connection was automatic. I can see the link but can't connect.I also dual boot Vista with Mint 8 Helena on my desktop box and cannot connect Helena to either the network or the internet. My router is a BTHomeHub2 and it was recently suggested that it could be being blocked by BT!
