edubuntu not connecting to internet

[David Willmot]

Hi,

I don’t know if this is the right forum, but I’m having difficulty with a
box running edubuntu server 7.10.

I connected it to my router/switch before installing using the 10/100
ethernet, leaving the 10/100/1000 free for the switch for the thin client
side.

Even though it shows the ip address of the switch (192.168.1.1) as the dsl
server it refuses to connect to the internet and so I can’t connect to
repositories.

I am setting it up to install in a seminary in northern Brazil so it needs
to run in Brazilian Portuguese, but as I don’t speak Portuguese I need to
set up the applications in English first. My dual booting laptop connects
through the same router ok with the same settings so I know it isn’t the isp
causing difficulties.

I’ve tried using dhcp for the port as well as changing it to a static ip
address. I’ve also tried to use the 10/100/1000 port with the same settings
but to no effect.

Has anyone any thoughts as to how I connect it or how I download the apps
from a repository in a sensible form to put on the machine.

(by sensible I mean easy)

Thanks

David
