Connecting to internet via broadband (Comcast)

Sometimes I can connect, but most of the time I cannot with puppy builds from Puppy 4.2,4.3, 5.0, Quirky, etc. Is this a Comcast issue or something that can be resolved on the Puppy side of things?

How do you get on-line with newer versions of puppy

Not sure what changes were made with the newer versions of puppy in 4.2.1 and 4.3, but where as I can get on line with comcast in California with no problems on the older versions, the newer ones just are not connecting. They do not pass test and it does not matter if you go through set up... nothin...

Thanks for efforts to help

My goal is to save only when I want to. I understand now how to turn off auto save by going into system, puppy event manager and under save session change the setting from 30 for every 30 minutes to 0 as in Never.

Gparted not working for me

My hard drives are:
WD 800AAJS - 80 GB Sata II
Seagage 7200.10 320 GB Sata II

Read somewhere GParted does not like certain DVD Drives..

I have a Pioneer 112D

Any ideas on why GParted does not see more.. also in this version any parts of drive not formatted are not seen by PMount.
