Re: wifi network connection
should not resolv.conf and gw point to the address of the router? I would set
up the interface on the desktop manually just to test the connection.
You can enter the DNS provided by the ISP into resolv.conf or use the router
as the DNS.
Something along the lines of:
# The primary network interface
auto eth0
iface eth0 inet static
address 192.168.2.x
netmask 255.255.255.0
gateway 192.168.2.1
