Hi: this has been brought up several times before, but I'm not sure that suggested solutions apply in my case.
I've just downloaded the LiveCD image, and booted a geriatric first generation Pentium with it - problems with max. monitor resolution vs default aside (and fixed) - everything seems to be running OK,
but I can't get
AppBrowser to work. When I start it and click
Connect the message:
Connection error, check network or mirror appears.
Selecting
Mirrors elicits the message:
Connection error, check network or ibiblioMy
Network settings (e.g., via
cpanel) are:
Interface: eth0
Use DHCP Broadcast: No
IP Address: 192.168.0.31
Broadcast: 192.168.0.255
Gateway: 192.168.0.1
Name Servers: <two entries corresponding to my ISPs DNS servers)
If I open a
Terminal, and run some tests, the output is:
ping www.google.com
PING www.google.com (173.194.36.104) 56 data bytes
64 bytes from 173.194.36.104: seq=0 ttl=54 time=42.256 ms
nslookup google.com

wget $(cat /opt/tcemirror)

wget: can't open 'index.html': Permission denied
cat /etc/resolv.conf
<IP address of ISP DNS server 1>
<IP address of ISP DNS server 2>
...so DNS seems to be working, and I can contact the outside world. I don't connect through a proxy. I've been reading
THIS thread, which has lots of useful information, even if I don't follow all of it - complete newbie I'm afraid.
Any suggestions much appreciated (at the moment I really only want to see how well web browsing works!). Thanks in advance.
