Ubuntu 8.10

[martymas]

any one know how to setup networks

on cable connect

this version has changed the settings

and there isnt an avenue

for cable connect

unless they have changed the words

i have the settings from my isp

but i havent a clue where to set them

linux has been a battle for many of us

but with out those networks settings

it is like p------g at the moon

they have also changed the area

to locate the the network

they have settings for all other connections but cable

any help

sorry I am lost..

What Cable setting do you need set.. it should be standard tcp/ip correct..

do you have to enter a username and password?

[iccaros]

if you tell me the settings you need, I will send you a file to put in your /etc/network folder..

there is a bug with the ubuntu network manager..

Iwas gonna reply yesterday but thought I was probably off the mark as I have no experience with this but...what I get from the post is you're looking for something like this...or maybe even this since it's somewhere in your part of the world.
