We answer questions here.
You did not ask a question.
Do you need help with something?

What 'it' gives you a connection error? Were you expecting something else?
Do you have a dhcp server, or are you planning to use a static IP?
What does 'ifconfig' show you?

I am trying to use appbrowser when i try to connect to it it gives me a connection error, check network or mirror.  I am booting from a usb and i have the LAN plugged in directly to the back ok my computer, why isnt it working?
if config gives me no errors as far as i can tell everything should be working fine.

pinkfoxpart2: I gave you (in the other thread you raised this same question earlier) what I'd like to believe were pretty precise step-by-step instructions (http://forum.tinycorelinux.net/index.php?topic=7001.msg39540#msg39540). The responses to those would be the kind of information we would need to help you.

You choose to reply only with partial answers to some and than continue whinging in this new thread here. I for one fail to see how anyone can help you with your problem on this basis.

TC is not a rank beginners Linux.  I see itas a toolkit for advanced users.
You may be better off with Ubuntu.

That's the idea because then we would know exactly how far you are getting, i.e. what parts of the puzzle are working and which ones are not.
