Hello, Friends,
I am a teacher of english for last 10 yrs in Kachchh District of
Gujarat
State.
I am fond of using computer. and I wanted to be free from pirated
software. so through serfing and discussing with friends I got this Linux
operating system
Thats nice to know... :)
I am a self-learned user of computer. It is my
limitation.
It's not a limitation Ms. Snehal. All computer pundits on the planet are
self-learnt :).
I have
installed Mandrake 9.0 on partition. It works fine. I
receive lots of mail
from our group. By going through the mails i am benifited a lot.
Thats nice to know.
Now, my current problems is as follows:
I can not get internet start up. I have motorola sm56 internal modem.
The Motorols SM56 holistically speaking is not really a modem. Many
GNU/Linux users think it's an excuse for a modem, so they don't bother
themselves to build better drivers.
However, a newer Redhat distribution should do the trick.
my
ISP is sancharnet. I don't know my IP address, DNS
server names as well as
Domain Names. From where I can get all these?
Every reigonal ISP has it's own DNS servers, so you'll have to find that out
which ones are applicable. However, these adresses are assigned to you
automatically if you use a fairly modern dialer like wvdial or kppp.
Warm wishes,
Amol Hatwar.
