help needed for Ubuntu 8.04 on HP 6720s notebook

[Abhishek Bawkar]

Hey Brian,

Thanks for your tip, I thought of giving your suggestion a try that,
changing the subnet mask to 255.255.0.0 and finally it worked. I am happy
now. Now I hope I'll be able to do everything. Thanks once again.

Would like to understand how it worked. Subnet mask in Windows was
255.255.255.0 and in Linux it is 255.255.0.0, could not understand. Can you
please explain or give a link where I can read?

yes, my connection is NATed. But, now the problem has been solved. Thanks
for the tips.

And since you seem to control the secondary server, why isn't it doing DHCP?

My ISP does not have DHCP, I don't know why... :-(

Thanks to everybody.

Regards,

Abhishek
