Thank you, Chris. I'll try these steps the next time I install Dapper. (Currently I'm testing OpenDarwin.) It's strange that it didn't recognize my Ethernet, however -- earlier version of Ubuntu found it just fine, and I just installed OS 9 to confirm the Ethernet is still working. (It worked fine under OS 9.) Harold <div>On 6/7/06, Christofer C.

Dapper does not prompt for networking information during the installation, I've found, leaving the network unconfigured. This is problematic for the target audience of the software who are probably going to be left lost at this point. My Ethernet was detected just fine, however no network was configured as the machine does not sit on a DHCP enabled network. You can configure your IP address and whatnot using the file /etc/network/interfaces. You'll want to change the entry that reads: iface eth0 inet dhcp To read something like this: iface eth0 inet static address <a href="http://10.22.154.14">10.22.154.14</a> netmask <a href="http://255.255.255.0">255.255.255.0</a> gateway <a href="http://10.22.154.1">10.22.154.1</a> That's from my machine and your configuration may differ. Also, you'll need to add nameservers to /etc/resolv.conf. This file does not exist by default so it's safe to create it. You'll want something like this in there: search <a href="http://domain1.com">domain1.com </a> <a href="http://domain2.com">domain2.com</a> nameserver <a href="http://192.168.10.11">192.168.10.11</a> nameserver <a href="http://192.168.10.14">192.168.10.14</a> nameserver <a href="http://10.22.119.161"> 10.22.119.161</a> Obviously, again, your configuration will differ, but you should have the idea. Note that the search directive is entirely optional. The nameserver directives (you must have at least one, and no more than three) are not.
