[ubuntu-in] Difficulty faced with UBUNTU 9.10

[Sushanta Mukherjee]

I have installed UBUNTU 9.10 in one partition of my
computer from the CD I have recently received. I have in the other
partition, WINDOWS XP which I have been using for about two years without any
trouble.

 

My system has Intel Pentium IV processor, 768 mb RAM and a
hard disk in excess of 200 Gb.

 

After installation I am stuck with the first requirement I
have. It is the installation of my internet connection. I have tried to set the
connection for DSL line and have failed everytime. My internet
service provider is BSNL. After typing my user i.d. and password
I have tried putting both “BSNL” and www.bsnl.co.in
alternately as the server name but in both cases have failed. The system
automatically switches on to “auto etho” and fails to connect to the
internet. I simply cannot get onto the net with UBUNTU.

 

Secondly, I have been unable to install softwares of my
choice in UBUNTU. No “*.exe) file is allowed to be installed (e.g. Acrobat
reader 9.0 or Quickplayer).

 

Please let me know if there is anything I am missing out
on, so that I may use this system which is one of the finest software platforms
in use today I believe.

 

Thank you and wishing everyone at UBUNTU a very Happy New
Year.

 

Yours truly,
