<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN"> <html> <head> </head> <body bgcolor="#ccffff" text="#003300"> I have Three computers on my LAN. The one I'm on right now is my test bed and it is running Ubuntu 7.10. It is connected to my 2Wire Router/modem, mod. 1000SW via NIC thru a Cat5e. This is unit number 2. Unit number 3 is running on WindowsXP connected to the 2Wire via a Home Phone Network Adapter that plugs to the computer in the USB ports. Unit number 1 is a problem. It is presently on a dual boot system with Kubuntu and Windows XP. Unit number one is connected to the 2Wire via the only Usb port on the 1000SW 2Wire modem/ router. If I boot the unit #1in Windows XP all three computers connect to the internet, at the same time, and they communicate via the LAN. If I boot unit #1 in Kubuntu, it will not communicate with any other device. <meta http-equiv="CONTENT-TYPE" content="text/html; charset=utf-8"> <title></title> <meta name="GENERATOR" content="OpenOffice.org 2.3 (Linux)"> <style type="text/css">  </style> The lsusb results are; First check with the 2Wire plugged in; willis@workgroup:~$ lsusb Bus 004 Device 002: ID 04a9:10b6 Canon, Inc.

And when I was asked to post the lsusb results everyone just fell silent. Please help, I do not want to operate Windows any more. </body> </html>
