hello all!
after using windows for ages, i am planning to switch to linux. my
compaq is already a dual boot machine running win98 and debian 3.0.
i am on a lan which also provides me access to the internet. i know my
machine's ip address, gateway and dns addresses. i use d-link card for
connecting to the lan.
i will like to have access to network resources (printers, etc) and the
net. i tried my best but could not do much.
i know the information is far from adequate. but being a newbie, dont
know what is required. may be you can ask and i can provide more
information?
it is quite sad that i have to get stuck with windows and cant swicth to
linux simply because i cant access the net and other resources on lan.
i am appending my dmesg for whatever it is worth. it will be great if i
can have simple step by step instructions.
dmesg:
