After install you have to edit samba.conf file. Put the workgroup name and other setting that you want.

alright, thanks.

Does your /etc/resolv.conf contain nameserver 202.188.1.5? If not, append it to your resolv.conf file.

If you are using a router/modem with DNS-relay enabled, you have to add nameserver <your router's/modem's LAN IP> instead.

this is what in my resolv.conf file

so what i can do??

dpkg --purge resolvconf
edit /etc/resolv.conf again.

If that doesn't work...try purge avahi especially avahi-dnsconfd

ok my problem solved,
i create new resolv.conf file,
and replace it with the exciting file

but that only for wired connection,
my wifi connection still problem,

Are you using network-manager?
If that the case, it is similar to resolvconf which detect dhcp broadcast and replace nameserver automatically.
Some routers does not send dns ip properly or even don't have place to set those ip. That's the origin of the problem.
You could try let your dhcpclient takeover the dns ip from your router.
Edit your dhcp client. Not sure which version you are using. if dhcp3-client, then edit /etc/dhcp3/dhclient.conf anda prepend tmnet dns ip:


My advise is...remove all those automatic tools, do the old fashion, set everything manually.
Only 2 file necessary if you do it manually:
/etc/resolv.conf and /etc/network/interfaces

thanks for advice,anyway, my wired connection is ok right now after replace that file
but do u know what is the problem with wifi connection??

i refer here for wifi problem, http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=880218
do u think it will work??

my situation now,wifi driver is ok, all connected,the signal is strength (good),
there is no security for my wifi like wep or wpa
so what the problem??

I'm not so sure what you mean.
Are you having problem or cannot authenticate to your wpa/wep router?

Read my note on how to use wpa supplicant or wlassistant:
http://mambang.org.my/modules/news/article...78&keywords=wpa
http://mambang.org.my/modules/news/article...77&keywords=wpa

Get latest kernel if available because kernel 2.6.26 has more support for wireless devices.
Or you could try my kernel:
http://mambang.org.my/modules/news/article.php?storyid=205

some of the current linux reminds me of the win98 days.
still quite lean still quite fast still have to do alot of things manually to get it working right and there is an order to install things so they work.

though with ubuntu it gives me the mac feeling....it just works.

though i am unable to fix my keys getting sticky at random times

no, not about wpa and wpe at all
i'm not enabling it,

my problem is i still can't get to surf even my wifi is working,
it's working,signal strength is good,
but can't connected,

this is when i connect using wired connection...
this is when i try connect using wifi

i've problem with the brightness configuration.

it works ok when i bootup ubuntu.
and i've set it to be dim when its in idle for 10 min
but whenver i back from the idle. the brightness still at dim.
how can i configure it?

1. Have you install firmware for your wifi card?
For broadcom, you need fw_cutter.

2. Happen to me once. I mess up with kernel. Try use different kernel.




Don't know about "it just work". I never use Ubuntu because their versioning system really confusing. I can't figure out which is stable, which is unstable, experimental...so on. Looks like they "cocktail" everything up. Still stick to "pure" Debian for ages. I prefer doing things manually.
About your key problem...you could try disable acpi but at the cost of having power mangement and others depends on acpi to not working.



This is probably acpi problem. Try get newer kernel. Dont know what brand your notebook is.
Usually notebook has function (Fn) key to control various aspect of their system. Try use it.
Or you could try command line.
Check in this : cat /proc/acpi/video/lcd/brightness
*video could have different name
You could just change the brightness using command such as: echo 100 > /proc/acpi/video/lcd/brightness
Change the numerical value to your liking, 0 -100

i'm now try to install new firmware..
need to try it first

Already using up-to-date kernel from ubuntu. unless i install myself. lol

i using dell xps m1210
last time i think no problem 1. but after i configured the dim during idle.
d brightness become less when back from dim. odd

Try use Fn up or Fn down

For user using laptop, better install laptop-mode-tools.

look at this..


what should i do??

Why primary DNS still using 10.0.0.1?
check /etc/resolv.conf again.
No matter you using wired or wireless.... both will refer to that file.

i assume u're using dhpc..
the dns might came from dhcp lease from your router/modem...
check your router DNS setting to change this permanently..
after that no need to change /etc/resolv.conf everytime d...
