<div dir="ltr"><div>Hi Brian,</div>
<div> </div>
<div>I confirmed it again on windows settings, there are as mentioned below,</div>
<div> </div>
<div><strong>IP address: <a href="http://100.100.102.192">100.100.102.192</a></strong></div>
<div><strong>Subnet mask: <a href="http://255.255.255.0">255.255.255.0</a></strong></div>
<div><strong>Gateway: <a href="http://100.100.100.1">100.100.100.1</a></strong></div>
<div><strong>DNS: <a href="http://100.100.100.1">100.100.100.1</a></strong><br></div>
<div>And, with these settings, my internet connection works fine on both, Laptop and Desktop. I use the same connection either on Laptop or on desktop at a time. On both the machines it works fine on windows.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>But, it's not working on Ubuntu. I could setup my desktop as Proxy, but i want direct connection on my laptop.</div>
<div> </div>
<div><font color="#cc0000">> If your gateway is outside the LAN of your eth card, then you'd have<br>> to add a static route to get there, which is possible I suppose, but<br>> I'm betting on a typo</font>.</div>
<div>By <strong>adding a static route</strong>, did you mean <a href="http://www.pcbuyersguide.co.za/showthread.php?t=6927">this</a>??</div>
<div> </div>
<div>What care should I take, if i do add a static route??</div>
<div> </div>
<div>I have <strong>tried</strong> changing <strong>Subnet mask</strong> to<strong> <a href="http://255.255.254.0">255.255.254.0</a>,</strong> didn't make any difference. :-(</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Secondly, if you are thinking so, there is NO issue of MAC address, b'coz I use the same connection on both laptop and desktop, one at a time, i.e my ISP doesn't register MAC address against my username and password.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Please let me know your comments ASAP.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Thanks for the help.</div>

the netmask - a larger netmask would put the address and the gateway<br>on the same subnet.<br><br>At any rate, hopefully you see what I mean - check your settings<br>against what's working in Windows.<br><br>Brian<br>
