Well, the "disconnected network" was actually a virtual network device created so your computer and coLinux could be on a seperate virtual network to communicate with eachother through, because of the settings you chose at installation. The download of which you speak of is actually the linux OS download. You have to download an OS to run with coLinux, as coLinux is only the emulation layer. I hope this helps in some way.

Subject: [coLinux-users] My internet isn't working now... Hmmnmm... Alright Guys, So I want to convince my dad of the superiority of linux, but he doesn't want me to install anything on his computer, so I decided to install coLinux on it. I quickly installed it, bypassing the part where you have to go out of the installer to get a file, and was completely confused, haha. Anyways, I figured it was because I had forgoten to do that file (I had a broken connection thing in my taskbar), so I uninstalled CoLinux and started the install again; this time I tried to go to the websites that had the files in them, but, alas, they didn't work. As a matter of fact, nothing worked (dern). So I rebooted the computer, did everything I could think of doing, and it still doesn't work. My original network connection, however, does work (it's as happy as ever). What's up? Has anybody ever had a problem like this? I have win 2000, on cable internet, which comes through a router. Thanks for your help! Luke Demi |
