MY ISP doesn't use WEP or WPA. The service uses layer2 blocking which works fine(Xubuntu) when I select the Open option. I also couldn't find Frisbee in the Precise 5.4 pet package list. Anyway, it seems like Frisbee requires the user to manually connect to the ISP upon boot up, which is the thing I ...

Thanks

I have a generic, wireless usb adapter connected to a 5 year old, NEC laptop with a pentium 3 and 512 ram. I have Xubuntu 12.04 currently installed. The Xubuntu wireless software always detects and connects to the preferred access point within 5 seconds, so I assume there are no hardware problems ...

I found the solution in this forum. Thanks Puppy users

"I'm running Puppy 1.0.7 and the change goes right above the following comment line in the rc.network file, thusly:

ifconfig eth0 hw ether 00:00:00:00:00:00
#Try to connect each ethernet interface found"

I would be more than happy to help you set up your router so you can share your internet on the home lan... I have a DSL--Dlink Dl-604 setup to a hybrid lan thats a split 10/100, 10/100/1000 switches, with 2 servers, and a few workstations, all use the same internet IP from my ISP... :twisted: Bob ...

the ifconfig command could probably be put at the end of rc.local in /etc/rc.d/ ... if necessary, it could be executed after a delay of say 5 seconds like this: (sleep 5; ifconfig eth0 hw ether 01:02:03:04:05:06)& see: http://whoozoo.co.uk/mac-spoof-linux.htm I successfully created a script to ...

I'm sending this message from my Puppy 2.11 laptop. Thanks for all the help.

Regarding the router options, I decided to disconnect and reconnect(alternate) my computers from the cable modem since I don't plan on using both computers simultaneously. Thanks for the info anyway.

ifconfig (and many other utility programs) is replaced in Puppy by Busybox you could run busybox directly, like this: busybox ifconfig eth0 hw ether 01:02:03:04:05:06 but there is no point in doing this what you did will NOT work: busybox ifdown eth0 this is not the correct syntax for using Busybox ...

That's right. I suppose your ISP will say the MAC address is to prevent someone from tapping the line and stealing your service, but it may also encourage people to buy extra connections. Still, I bet if you call your ISP and ask nicely, they will allow you to use several MAC addresses. Or you ...

Thanks for the info on busybox. I used ifconfig to change the mac address in Ubuntu and it worked perfectly. I tried the command "busybox ifdown eth0" in Puppy with no luck. I got the following message "etc/network/interfaces - no such file or directory". Thanks

I manually entered the IP address, subnet mask and the gateway in the connection wizard, still no luck. I verified that my NIC works with other operating systems and Puppy indicates that my network connection setup was successful. I was also unable to connect to the internet with windows and ubuntu ...

How do I change my laptop's mac address while running Puppy 2.11?
Auto detect DHCP isn't working on my laptop, but it works fine on my Desktop Computer with a Comcast cable connection.
