<div><br>Hi Mike!</div>
<div> </div>
<div>I think I would start with the Ubuntu Desktop Manual chapter 4 (see link) (note: I like to DL the PDF file and use it on my computer):</div>
<div> </div>
<div><a href="https://help.ubuntu.com/">https://help.ubuntu.com/</a></div>
<div> </div>
<div>If no joy, then I would start work with a linux networking how-to:</div>

<div>Probably you are on a network with a Dynamic Host Control Protocol server (DHCP). Knowing that this from the above mentioned desktop manual may help:</div>
