guys i tried browsing on the pc(windows xp) since yesterday and it gives me ppp link error ip there a way to beat that? also i tried using an ipod on windows, although it installed it but couldn't open it. i tried it on puppy, it opened it and i copied a file there but when i checked the ipod there wasn't anything there. i tried kubuntu live cd although it mounted it but when i try opening it, it complains that its not found in fstab plz what can i do

where's everyone? @mimoh hw far with ur exams? @christino hw far with u? @everyone try using kexi its a good replacement for access

wot's Kexi, on linux? I had a 3 day break jare.

kexi is a database package like Ms access. it runs on both linux and windows. the windows version is on the kubuntu cd.

kewl, i'd like 2 c dat.

@christino plz do u have a workaround for ppp link error, since the reinstallation of win i've been encountering that problem anytime i try to establish celtel connection on my pc so am stuck to opera mini

i don't know nada about this PPP stuff o, but i just use the network setup wizard to set my connection up, never encountered it.

okay, try this:

@christino i did that but still the same error. could it be a location problem?

Ha, can't really say o. I doubt if it is, did you change location? but if your phone is connected wot's stopping your PC?

try deleting that one and using the network setup wizard for dial up connectivity. you should be ok in no time.

@christino the gprs on my phone just stopped working but am back now. so when i said location i meant ilupeju, and i have reason to believe thats why i couldn't connect on the linux to

so what's d new proxy setting.

i don't understand what u meant by new proxy setting. am still yet to connect on the pc and when i try moto phone tools it gives same error but suggests that i should disable proxy. hw can i do that? and have u tried the kexi?

where's everyone? @mimoh hw was ur exams? @christino i used my moto with a friends centrino and it worked instantly. but there wasn't wifi reception around my guess was right @everyone have an ubuntfull christmas and don't 4get d reason 4d season Christ

@everyone have an ubuntfull christmas and don't forget d reason 4d season Christ

Looking forward 2 hearing from u guys. Cheerio
