I downloaded the new Puppy Lucid 5.20 but cannot gain access to the internet. I have a wired connection through router with a DSL Modem. The Broadcom is not connecting. The machine is a Dell MT 230 with 4 GB DDR 3 and 2.93 GHz processor. Just cannot connect to the internet connection which is always on. Please help. A direct reply through e-mail would be appreciated. My e-mail id <faridansari@hotmail.com> Thanks. Farid Ansari Karachi, Pakistan |

open a terminal session and run the "ipinfo" command. Post the info for IP address, gateway, and DNS. Also try pinging 4.2.2.2 and let us know the results. |

No no no, that's not how this forum works or what it's for.

Hi I have a wifeless DSL connection and currently connect without problem on my windows 7 OS however when I boot to Lucid 5.2 from my USB drive i cant find a wireless connection. It finds the appropriate hardware but no connection is found to connect too. I just want to use this connection to surf the web. What necessary first steps can i make to connect to my available connection? Thanks |

Ive tried that. It cant find any valid connection. Im wondering if i has anything to do with my network not being secured highly enough. Will keep or cause the available network from appearing? |

I'm reasonably confident that you have an onboard Broadcom ethernet chip, supported in Puppy by the tg3 driver ... but this driver often requires the "broadcom" PHY driver as a dependency, which is not automatically loaded. The solution, in theory, is as I posted here four days ago - http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?p=508681#508681 Unfortunately, the original poster in that thread has not been courteous enough to confirm if my suggestion worked. |
