strange problem - computer works in one place, but not in another
I installed Lenny on a computer without problems. I did a net install
and checked the various applications that were likely to be heavily
used. All were working. Desktop: KDE. Hardware: Pentium III
Coppermine, 256MB RAM.
I then moved the computer to its owner's house,having done the
installation at my house. And everything internet-related has gone
mad!!
Now:
Konqueror connects immediately to any site I have tried.
Iceweasel connects intermittently: i.e. sometimes connects,sometimes doesn't.
Icedove (which was fine at my house) won't connect at all.
Ping works for some sites, not for others.
aptitude can't connect at all. So I cannot update/upgrade or install
new applications. (I could at home.)
On the same connection, and using the same cables, my laptop connects
well, except that ping is still erratic.
I have: reset the router to factory defaults; tried another router.
There is a good fast connection, and I updated Jaunty on my laptop
without a problem.
And the DVD RW drive is playing up in spite of being brand new so I
cannot just try reinstalling. :-(
Help!
