Hi Rob,

I'm guessing that you have a proxy in place.  Check Settings|Control Panel|
Internet Settings.  Go to the Connections tab and press "Lan Settings...".  
If you have "Use a proxy server for your lan" checked, you need to tell apt 
about this proxy.

Create or modify /etc/apt/apt.conf to look like this:

Acquire::http::Proxy "http://<username>:<password>@<proxy_machine>:<port>/";

Of course you must fill in your own data in <angle brackets>.  You may also 
need the following line in apt.conf:

APT::Cache-Limit "25165824";

This does not get you to the internet, but keeps apt from running out of 
memory.

Hope this works!

Paul

There is no explicit proxy set up.  In the Automatic configuration box, the
Automatically detect settings box is checked, but I don't think we use a
proxy.

I haven't had any trouble with any other form of internet connectivity at
work.

Thanks,

           Rob

How about a web browser on the linux side?  Does firefox, konqueror, etc. show 
you pages?

Thing, you have a hardware router and you only can ping your local 
network?  This is mostly a problem with setting default route in linux. 
  You should set the same route in colinux (same as windows default route).

If you come from old coLinux version, have you uptaded the winpcap 
driver to 3.0 or 3.1?  That's only an idea.

Additional, you can use SLiRP as networking device.  This is a liddle 
slower, but works perfect without problems.  See in the wiki for 
ipaddress, Netmask and nameserver for useing slirp with static adresses.

Well, I'm working off the bare debian image.  So, without apt-get, I can't
run X, firefox, konqueor, etc.

It doesn't look like the bare Debian comes with lynx...

Actually, I'm a bit wrong.  I said my Windows network works properly, but it
doesn't work when coLinux is running...  Quit coLinux, and Windows works
again.

Maybe I have something wrong with the network share.  However, I thought
this was pretty much on-off.

This is all a brand-new coLinux setup on my laptop.  So winpcap is
brand-new.

I'll dig some more after lunch.

Thanks,

             Rob

I got SLiRP up and working.  Thats good enough for me for a while.

Thanks a bunch.

Well, I was making a dumb mistake.

I was trying to use bridged networking, but I was also turning on network
sharing.  I didn't realize in reading the Wiki that sharing was for NAT
_only_.

So, I now have two bridged networks set up.  eth0 hooks to wireless.  eth1
hooks to wired.  Both use DHCP.  I specify the actual hardware's MAC address
in my command line for both connections (I'm not sure if I should do this).

I would like to use VNC without having to look up whatever ip address dhcp
has given me this time, on whatever network I happen to (or not) be
connected to.  So, I'm trying to set up a Microsoft Loopback adapter.  I'm
running Win2K & using winpcpap bridging, so I'm not sure if this is
appropriate (I read somewhere that winpcap has problems with loopback).  If
anyone has done this, please share how you got it to work (static ip addy,
netmask, gateway, on Windows & coLinux side).

Also, I'd like to make the coLinux machine totally invisible to the outside
world.  Is this compatible with the above setup?  How is this best done?

Thanks in advance,

            Rob

I'm trying to set up xdm for use with vnc.  I followed the instructions in
the Wiki.

If I don't use xdm, but start a vncserver from the command line, KDE (or
Gnome) works great.

With xdm, if I have no .xinitrc, Gnome loads, and everything works fine.

With xdm, if I have my .xinitrc set to 'startkde', xdm logs me in, and
starts kde.  However, it pops up an error dialog....

There was an error setting up inter-process communications for KDE.  The
message returned by the system was:

Could not read network connection list.
/home/robm/.DCOPserver_colinux__0

Please check that the 'dcopserver' program is running!


Any pointers are appreciated,

            Rob

I don't know what changed, but it just started working...

Sorry for the noise.

Thanks,
