Internet and Network Connection in Linux System



1. LAN (Wired)
2. Wireless
3. Mobile Broadband

1. Wired (LAN)
+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-

    Manually entering your network settings:

    If you don't have DHCP on your network then you can configure a static
        connection. You will need to enter the network settings yourself, so
        check with your network administrator or look at your router's
        settings to find out which details to use.   

1.Right click the Network Manager icon in the system notification area and click Edit Connections.      

2.Click the Wired tab, select the connection and click Edit.          

3.Click the IPv4 Settings tab and choose Manual from the Method drop down list.
       
4.Click Add and enter your IP address and other details. Enter the address of your DNS server too.

5.Click Apply. The network should now connect if you entered the settings correctly.

2. Wireless
+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-


To connect to a wireless network:

   1.Ensure that your wireless device is turned on.

   2.Click the Network Manager icon in the system notification area.

   3.Under Wireless Networks click on the network you want to connect to.

If you have connected to the network previously, Ubuntu will automatically connect to the network where it is available.
If you are connecting to a network for the first time, security details may be needed. If so, a dialog box will open. Enter your security details as follows.
   
            1.    In most cases the security type will be detected automatically. If
                not, select the security type from the
                Wireless Security drop-down box. This will
                depend on how the wireless network is set up. Examples of security
                types are WEP, WPA and LEAP.

              2.    Enter the password, key or other authentication details as
                appropriate. These are usually case-sensitive. If you don't know
                your wireless key, it may be printed on the bottom of your wireless
                router.     

            3.    Click Connect. If you are prompted again for
                your security details, you may have entered them incorrectly, or
                there could be a problem with your wireless setup.

3. Mobile Broadband
+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+- 

Mobile Broadband means any kind of high speed Internet connection which is provided by an external device such as a 3G USB stick or mobile phone with built-in HSPA/UMTS/GPRS data connection. Some laptops have recently been produced with mobile broadband devices already inside them.
Most mobile broadband devices should be recognised automatically when you connect them to your computer. Ubuntu will prompt you to configure the device.
   

1.The New Mobile Broadband Connection wizard will open automatically when you connect the device.             
 
2.Click Forward and insert your details, including the country where your Mobile Broadband device was issued, the network provider and type of connection (for example, Contract or pre-pay).             

3.Give your connection a name (it is up to you what name you choose) and click Apply.          

4.Your connection is now ready to use. To connect, click the Network Manager icon in the top right of the panel and select your new Connection.         

5.To disconnect, left click the Network Manager icon in the top right of the panel and click Disconnect.

If you are not prompted to configure the device when you connect it, it may still be recognised by Ubuntu. In such cases you can add the connection manually.
   
   1.Right-click the Network Manager icon in the system notification area and click Edit Connections            

   2.Select the Mobile Broadband tab.            

   3.Click Add.        

   4.This should open the New Mobile Broadband Connection wizard. Enter your details as described above.

Hi! I'm Java...

Java is a computer programming language. It enables programmers to write computer instructions using English based commands, instead of having to write in numeric codes. It’s known as a “high-level” language because it can be read and written easily by humans. Like English, Java has a set of rules that determine how the instructions are written. These rules are known as its “syntax”. Once a program has been written, the high-level instructions are translated into numeric codes that computers can understand and execute. Who Created Java? In the early nineties, Java was created by a team led by James Gosling for Sun Microsystems. It was originally designed for use on digital mobile devices, such as cell phones. However, when Java 1.0 was released to the public in 1996, its main focus had shifted to use on the Internet. It provided more interactivity with users by giving developers a way to produce animated webpages . Over the years it has evolved as a successful language for

Comparison over Intel Core 2 duo & Intel Core i3 Processor

A comparison between processors was simple some years ago with a single core processor. All you had to look at was the clocking frequency and the cache size. The entry of multiple core chips changed it all and life became complicated. With dual, quad and even six core processors hitting the market, there are many more factors to be considered, than before. Intel's dual core and core 2 duo processors were the first ones to introduce multi-core processor based computing. The quad core processors created later have given rise to the quad core vs dual core debate, as well as the core i5 vs core i7 comparison which is something that high-end computing market consumers should think about. Prior to that, we only had the 32 bit vs 64 bit processors comparison to worry about. Today, Intel has gone through a lot of designing and planning, to introduce core i3 processors that are an improvement over the core 2 duo line. The following Intel core i3 vs core 2 duo processor comparison wil

I'm the Server Operating System

Server Operating System A server operating system is software that was especially developed to serve as a platform for running multi-user computer programs, applications that are networked and programs critical to business computing. This type of operating system (OS) often comes bundled with the most common types of applications deployed in the client-server model, a term used to indicate the exchange of information between computers. For example, a hypertext transfer protocol (HTTP) or web server hosts or "holds" the text files, images files and scripts that work together to form a website. When someone connects to the Internet and types in a web address, the server that holds the files of the site delivers or "serves" the requested pages to the client computer or the machine that made the request. Frequently used applications in the client-server model handle operations for sharing files and printers across a network, hosting and serving web pages via the
