User Feedback :: myDSL click and start !!!
Just tried a hd install with DSL on my old thinkpad 380ED and it's breathed new live into this old machine, thanks.
The only thing is I can't get the myDSL function to run from my home network. I took the laptop into the office and it works there fine.
the list of available programs is blank and the url says http://127.0.0.1:6804/
I was wondering, does this point to a firewall problem with my ADSL router?
Is there a manual way of instaling the DSL packages?

Your office network probably has DHCP handing out leases for IP adresses.
DSL loves a DHCP enabled network, you just plugin and GO !... Nice...
You home network may not be DHCP enabled.
If not, you'll have to assign an IP manually for your DSL install.
In your menu , what does "System > Net Setup > netcardconfig"
do for you when you use it to setup your networking?
And yes, you can download the .dsl files to most anything,
CDR, USB key, CF, copy to empty HD space, whatever,
and use the myDSL button in emelfm to load them up.

I get a similar problem, stating that it cannot connect to ibiblio, however, my net connection is fine, I am using DHCP fine and netcardconfig returns an OK when setting it up with DHCP. Am I missing something?
I have noticed that sometimes Ibiblio goes down (maybe for updates?), next time that happens open up a browser and see if you can connect to Ibiblio directly.
just click the gui again quite often it is not quite ready when dsl is ready ,ie if you've only just booted and then click in that first it will not go, but on second attempt should connect, maybe this needs to go on the bug file
