jpeps,
If what you are suggesting is the case, that the Craig netbook (10" screen, 1.5 GHz processor, 1 GB ram) is a POS, then the Asus eeePC would be able to connect when the Craig netbook would not be able. Since both cannot connect via the browser, I can't agree with your suggestion, but I do get your drift. The problem is more likely a configuration issue, based on the evidence. Probably something very simple.


Well, if you've done the setup and the devices indicate they are "connected", the only other thing I can think of is poor signal strength or hardware issues with the device itself.

Probably has to do with encryption.

In that case, it would probably not indicate that it's connected, unless I'm mistaken. On the other hand, if I'm a bit out of range, or the signal strength momentarily drops, nothing loads from the browser.

Can you plug the Asus eeePC directly into the modem?

eeePC WiFi linksys
Status: connected
Signal strength: excellent
Link speed: 54 Mbps
Security: none

Craig netbook WiFi linksys
Status: connected
Signal strength: excellent
Link speed: 54 Mbps
Security: none

There are 3 lights illuminated on the Linksys wireless router: Power, VLAN, Internet. The eeePC has an RJ45 ethernet/LAN jack which connects to internet, checked and confirmed minutes ago. The resident browsers on both devices do not connect to internet via WiFi.

EDITT: I justt connectted tthe Linksys wireless routter directtly tto cable modem, rebooted everytthing, and now I am ttyping this from tthe Craig nettbook (WiFi connection).

Problem was probably due to going through a wired router. Does this mean I have to choose either wired or wireless for my home network?

Sometimes simply unplugging/plugging the modem gets it working. They're worse than programmers when it comes to getting confused. I've had to update hardware when connections kept dropping. BTW/ you might want to add security

Good recommendation, um, how would I do that, in a nutshell?

You do it in your router, in the wireless gateway settings. There's a security mode dropdown which you can select from. You want something like WPA/WPA2-PSK(TKIP/AES). You get into settings from your browser by entering the router IP. Linksys is usually 192.168.1.1. Default password is usually "admin" (the one your neighbor uses when he accesses your system).

PostPosted: Mon 28 Oct 2013, 18:43    Post subject: Touch is NOT enabled OOTB  
Tried 2 Andriod-x86s on my Touch HP-TX2. Touch is NOT enabled.
The 2 attempted were Android-x86 V4.3 and Android-x86 V4.0TX2.

Touch is NOT operational on a Touch enable x86 system. Thus app testing is not a pleasant experience.

Here to help
Edited: changed Android4 to Android-x86 V4... for clarity.

Dell is trying to run Android 4.2 on 1.6 GHz Intel Atom Z2560 Clover Trail+ processor.

I suspect that there will be a lot of apps that aren't compatible.

Since this forum really shouldn't be burdened with all things Android, I'm putting out a request for recommended support sites. I am asking for quality, not quantity, with emphasis on free services and products: support sites (eg, AndroidCentral), essential sites (eg, Google Play Store), alternative app stores (eg, soc.io mall), rooting tutorials, etc. Thanks

Try google search. It's free and I haven't yet found an android issue I haven't been able to solve with it. There are also some great books, but you probably wouldn't be interested in compensating anyone for their time.

Ubuntu 13.10 64 bit supports touch, guess you already knew that.

The bad news is that unlike the “stable” release Canonical had said would be available with Ubuntu 13.10, this is an “early release that can potentially brick your device,” says the company.

Using the touch pad + a stylus pen is working pretty well.


cool. What's working, what isn't? Pinch zoom? Looks like XMir is only out for the mobile version.
