Hello again, Admin-Amir,
did as you suggested , that is , I entered my Mac hardware address but no joy.
Wirelesss is still disabled. It doesn't matter much as I am stilll connected via AutoEtho on my Desktop.
My Laptop has wireless and wired enabled so that's o.K. and I don't really need wireless on my desktop. I was more interested in trying to find out why it wasn't working.
In Network settings Wired is set to Loopback by default -I tried changing to Ethernet but it still reverts to loopback, so multicast is not enabled.I don't know if that makes a difference.
Tried using other interfaces too, Unity,etc, same situation.I can edit connections but nothing I do seems to enable wireless connection, although the Wireless Network name is available in the settings box, nothing appears on the desktop.
Looked in boot-up manager and everything seems o.k. too
I have added Jupiter to 3.0.1 and it was already installed in Dream Multimedia2 but nothing appears for internet connection.
Am I missing something here?
Like I said I don't need wireless on my Desktop, anyway. I was more concerned about trying to find a solution for Dougal.I am only trying to learn a little more about Linux.
The problem is a new one for me and I think directly related to the new Unity/Gnome interfaces perhaps?
I have played around with other distros and several of them seem to set-up internet connections in different ways and often don't ask for the same information, so it can get irritating at times. It's the laptop connection I find most confusing.If my laptop uses the same OS' why can I get wireless on my laptop and not the desktop?
The laptop gives me all the wireless connections available including BTfon but the Desktop gives me only Wired connection.
Nothing changes when I edit network connections and network manager only displays Wired Connection1.
Any other ideas?
All that I am or seem is but a dream within a dream.
