Hello Sean & AllenThank you for the lightning replies, I think I had better clarify my setup.1/ I have my pc running xp upstairs with a BT voyager 105 modem connected to phone line that's been working fine for 2 years and I have also installed the wireless netgear 108mbps pci adapter ( WG311T) but I doubt whether it's configured properly2/ Downstairs I have the other pc cluttering up the kitchen table with dapper drake installed, and the FA311 wired connection to the netgear adsl modem router which is connected to the phone line.I hope that's clearer, when I am trying to setup the router I disconnect the bt voyager.And I had already downloaded feisty so would it be better to uninstall dapper and install feisty.I don't have a printer on the ubuntu machine.Linux pcifconfiglink encap:local loopbackinet addr: ::1/28 scope:hostop loopback running mtu 16436 metric:1rx packets:5 errors:0 dropped:0 overuns:0 frame:0tx packets:5 errors:0 dropped:0 overuns:0 carrier:0collisions:0 txqueue len:0rx bytes:272(272.0b) tx bytes 272(272.0b)xp pcipconfigEthernet adapter wireless network connection 2:media state ..................................: media disconnectedethernet adapter local area connection Connection-specific DNS Suffix . : Autoconfiguration IP Address . : 169.254.160.144 Subnet mask . . . . . . . . . . . . . . :255.255.0.0 Default Gateway . . . . . . . . . . .. :PPP adapter pipex: Connection-specific DNS Suffix . : IP Address . . . . . . . . . . :81.178.234.46 Subnet mask . . . . . . . . . :255.255.255.255 Default Gateway . . . . . . . :81.178.234.46I had to type it all in as I couldn't work out how copy & paste from the command prompt.Oh! and no you didn't pitch to low at all, I need it simple.If you think that feisty would be better I don't know about this partition deleteI hope I've covered everything & thanksTerry
