Ethernet not connecting
I have a Toshiba satellite a100 with Felicia installed. When I connect to my router, a Siemens speedstream 6520, put my pass and user into the dsl connecton windows (although i don't know what is meant by "service"), it doesn't connect. On Vista it connected.

Re: Ethernet not connecting
I visited that forum, and tried the repairs, but no luck. I also noted that they suggest resetting to factory defaults, which I did, and still no luck. I ran the latest version of Knoppix from CD and no connection. I also tried with Slitaz, which couldn't even find a wifi connection (as LM and Knoppix had). So I guess that it's the modem - does that mean I have to go out and buy another modem just for the laptop?

Re: Ethernet not connecting
Sorry you are still having problems. I am assuming that you are trying to connect wirelessly, have you tried wired and if so does it work. Also as suggested in the link are you able to try your Mint machine on a friends modem?
