Hi Faisu
Did what you said, still no joy. There were no ip details in the interface screen so i typed in:
ip address=192.168.0.1
subnetmask=255.255.255.0
gateway=192.168.1.1
dns=
and saved after this, also typed the network restart command which was performed still no joy.
When i edit the connection settings in preferences>network connections i am able to establish a connection and copy files to the linux machine but no internet.Please help what next
