Hello there,
After managing to make my ADSL connection work with Ubuntu, I found out
that if my wireless connection is also on, Ubuntu seems to get confused and
doesn't connect me to the internet using neither connection.
Is there a way to tell Ubuntu which connection to use?

Not sure. I think I remember hearing that Debian now officially
unless you've recompiled your kernel or something like that, you
wouldn't need to do a fresh install. that's the flexibility of ubuntu.
however, you might need to do a dpkg-reconfigure for your x-server if
you're using another video card and monitor.

Hi, can anyone advise me on a printer issue? I've got an HP Deskjet 3745
printer. It's detected as a 3740, which is ok, but when I try to print
to it the printer info always reports 'job stopped', hitting 'resume'
dose not get things moving.
Any help welcome

Can you ping the router? Can you ping the ISP's router or DNS server?
If so, can you ping a host name (eg www.google.co.uk)? Or can you ping
stuff, but only stuff that's on the local net? What's the output of the
"ip route" command?

Hi list
Just got my broadband live, and there's a bit of a problem with it.
Basically, I have got all my settings right in the modem interface,
and it is working fine in my windows partition.
But in Ubuntu, I boot up Firefox, try and load a webpage, and...
nothing happens.
Can anyone give me any

Long after upgrading to 6.10, I wanted to change one of the partitions
that gets mounted. So off I goes to edit /etc/fstab (as you would),
