Okay so I've been trying my best to configure both my wireless and LAN internet, but I've got nothing still.
Yes, I put in the correct wireless settings and I let Ceni configure my LAN settings appropriately. Although by a miracle chance, when I left my browser for an hour I finally connected to a website.
Is there any other GUI application that I can install on my aptosid that is better than Ceni? I've lost all hope in using it. By the way, when I try to use wpa_gui it says it can't find some local dependencies:
Code:
wpa_gui: error while loading shared libraries: libqt-mt.so.3: cannot open shared object file:
no such file or directory
Any ideas?
On a side note: can you tell me how to change my user permissions? I can't write to one of my media folders (my main Windows 7 partition that's under: /media/disk1part3/ |

| You could give wicd a try, but in the end it's nothing more but a frontend for what ceni does too... |

ceni does what it does, perfect.
if you would tell us, what wireless chipset you use and what firmware/driver you installed to make it work, we could probably help you.
regarding your drive permissions: please show us the related line in /etc/fstab

confirmed.
Normally lan/eth0 works out of the box by just having the net cable plugging in router and box. |

Your wifi problem seems firmware thing or hardware thing. but this:

seems DNS problem. Well, I'm having similar problem with my ISPs.
Using the default DNS server the ISP provides, I can't reach my e-mail server abroad,
nor even aptosid.com sometimes. Changing to use OpenDNS (nameserver 208.67.222.222 and 208.67.222.220)
the connection is immediate. |

I've browsed around and found that my chipset is perfect compatible:
ath9k Atheros AR982X Wireless
as for my LAN:
tg3 Boradcom NetLink BCM5784M Gigabit.
I haven't installed any firmware to get these.
as for drive permissions:
Code:
UUID=DAA41C49A41C2B11 /media/disk1part1 ntfs auto,users,ro,dmask=0022,fmask=0133,nls=utf8 0 0
UUID=16320A87320A6BD5 /media/disk1part2 ntfs auto,users,ro,dmask=0022,fmask=0133,nls=utf8 0 0
UUID=DEB21189B2116775 /media/disk1part3 ntfs auto,users,ro,dmask=0022,fmask=0133,nls=utf8 0 0
UUID=8370e9d5-c77a-4198-a6f3-b24e502dbaaf / ext4 defaults,noatime,errors=remount-ro,barrier=0 0 1
as for DNS, I connect wirelessly and it works. For LAN I have no idea why it doesn't work. |

The last sidux/aptosid were not working automatically for me. Ceni configuration could not resolve automatically dns nameservers.
There are two possibilities:
A) Set the nameservers in /etc/network/interfaces (or in ceni configuration), example with google dns:
Quote:
iface eth0 inet static
address 192.168.0.2
broadcast 192.168.0.255
dns-nameservers 8.8.8.8 8.8.4.4
gateway 192.168.0.1
netmask 255.255.255.0
network 192.168.0.1
B) Set the dns nameservers in the router (automatic or manual). In this example the router is at 192.168.0.1:
Quote:
iface eth0 inet static
address 192.168.0.2
broadcast 192.168.0.255
dns-nameservers 192.168.0.1
gateway 192.168.0.1
netmask 255.255.255.0
network 192.168.0.1

Thank you blackhole; I am able to access websites now by using the router configuration. Although loading webpages is fairly slow, it is time now to get myself a proper GUI interface for networks, as when I go to/from university I need to input a username and password into the wireless.
We still have some unsolved stuff however. In the meantime, I'm just apt-get'ing everything I can. |

Thank you so much blackhole for figuring out that very small issue with Ceni. |

| should wired not work yet, you need firmware for the nic.
Code:
apt-get install firmware-linux-nonfree
contains that. as the name suggests, it needs non-free enabled in the sources.
