Ethernet Desktop Will NOT Connect To My Local Network

your feedback on "Human readable" was nice so I explained IP to my mum and brother using the "postman" image and they had the same reaction as you so I think it is a good example for internet presentations (I'm a network consultant and sometimes even if people have used a lot terms like IP,DHCP or DNS they don't really know how it works, at least they will be able to have something to relate to)

That's great. I wish I'd had more "Human Readable" examples a few years ago, when I first started using Linux. It can still be a bit confusing, but it's getting clearer all the time. I love it.
