Hello Ultimate Edition Members,
I'm a noob to ubuntu basically but I got Ubuntu Intrepid currently dual booted with XP on my desktop and am going for the full switch once my Ultimate Edition 2.0 Download finishes.
I downloaded Intrepid on my brothers computer after fully reformatting it from Windows XP.
-That is also another problem, everythime i try the Windows XP Installer on his computer, it crashes through the reformatting, and yet it works perfectly on my desktop computer.
My question about Ubuntu is,
I installed Intrepid and am going to install Ultimate Edition 2.0 on my brothers laptop (again as soon as it finishes downloading, it will be Ultimate Edition 2.0). I can easily connect through my wired connection on my desktop. The same ethernet cord will not load anything on my brothers laptop.
When i tried getting his laptop on the internet I was to say the least, a little confused. Would i need a wireless driver or a full ethernet driver seems how it's a laptop? Also would you know if there is a way to get the Wifi radar on his laptop without being connected to the internet on it? I have tried multiple times to get him connected wirelessly and have the SSID and Mac Address (if the mac is the same as the wired one he had pre installed) and I have the WEP key, not too sure if I need the BSSID or even where to find it. Yet when i change things it just stays not connected, I have even tried resetting the router and his wireless switch on the computer.
My brothers computer is a:
Acer Aspire 5100
AMD Turion x64
ATI Radeon Xpress 1100
Would anyone be able to enlighten me on this subject?
Much thanks to whoever can spread a little light on this =P
