<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN"> <html> <head> </head> <body bgcolor="#ccffff" text="#003300"> I have a 2Wire model 1000SW DSL Router. I have one Windows computer connected via HPNA, This unit connected via CAT5E and my main unit is connected via the USB port. As long as I fire the main unit up in Windows XP all is well but the very moment I choose to crank it up in Kubuntu 7.10 I loose my router connection. The mainboard came with onboard LAN and when looking for the Network all I find is eth0, the NIC. Is there anyway I can force the USB/Network connection? I really have become disgusted with Windows and want both my test-bed and my main unit on Ubuntu with the KDE Desktop. I do have a refurbished model 1700 2Wre router but it means reworkin all of my network, including my wifes unit inside the shop building. Just so you understand, I am very sick with Recurring MS and the address on the old Router is 172.bla, bla, bla and the mod. 1700 with the five RJ ports is 192. and on. I get about on a walker so I really am putting off the replacement router install. Thanks to all for any and all input. </body> </html>
