DSL Embedded :: Network config

Thanks for the reply, A.

My system environment is exactly the same.. Win XP SP2, wireless networking behind a router, and I'm using Zone Alarm. I guess it wasn't meant to be for me.

I'll check back with the next release of DSL. In the mean time, Fedora Core 3 on VMWare Beta 5 is working out very nicely for me.

Cheers,
Mike

vmware does weird bridging things to windows XP and installed a couple programs that run in the background. do you think those could be causing some interference?

I use DSL-embedded on a MSWindows (WinXP SP1) computer that is hooked up to a DHCP enabled network. While using other MSWindows programs like Internet Explorer, I can connect to the Internet just fine.

When I start up DSL embedded, I don't need to do anything extra regarding DHCP or netcardconfig.

DSL automatically configures the virtual NIC and it works fine with no further tweaking from scripts or control panel.

Are you able to 'ssh' or 'telnet' to other hosts ? or can you check other hosts by using 'nslookup' ?
I have no problem to connect to Internet through browser but was not successful for the commands above :-(

Thanks
David

I have no other hosts to "telnet" or "ssh" to at the moment.

However, I can run nslookup.

The busybox version that is included in DSL is very brief and limited, so I apt-get install dnsutils

typing nslookup reveals:

Server: 10.0.2.3
Address: 10.0.2.3#53

and I can use it to look up other hosts on the greater Internet.

Thanks for all your replies but I've uninstalled DSL for the time being. I will revisit this at a later time. It looks like the default network settings should work fine. I did have VMWare installed at the time so that might have been conflicting with the ethernet bridge as mentioned by one of the posters.

Thanks for all your help,
Mike
