Read this:
*help.ubuntu.com/7.04/add-applications/C/install-file.html

Then download the files from here:
*packages.debian.org/stable/

When you find a package you want to install be sure to look at the dependencies! If you download a package with dependencies and you don't download the dependencies, it WILL fail. So download all of the dependencies, the packages you want, and get them to your home machine (via CD, usb key, etc...). Then install them as per the guidelines in the first link I posted.

There's nothing more to do, Check if your /etc/network/interfaces file has some entry similar to below

iface eth0 inet static
address 202.88.xxx.xxx
netmask 255.255.255.0
gateway 202.88.xxx.xxx


auto eth0

If you have a USB Drive or something, you can drop by at VJTI, we have about 1GB of software for feisty. I can make an iso of it using apt-on-cd. No CD/DVD writers so can't give you on those.
If you're going to come inform me in advance.

there is the answer! install this software on the computer where you will download. then run this prog. it'll make an iso image of all the installation files. delete them from the original one. copy this file in a cd/flash drive and install at home.

secondly, check the interfaces files for network configuration. try to find out the network adaptor and configre ip/subnet/gateway accordingly. simply add the lines in the format mehul mentioned in that file.

Actually if you can come on sunday between 11am and 1pm, it'd be much better.
And are you connecting you Broadband modem via USB? That could also be the problem. It requires to load some usbether modules and there's some obscure driver, which had worked for me in Mandriva once.

iface eth0 inet static
address 202.88.xxx.xxx
netmask 255.255.255.0
gateway 202.88.xxx.xxx


auto eth0

i'm not getting in /etc/network/interfaces

auto eth0

i'm not able to see DNS in network is it ok?
how to check for that?

 

[mehulved]

OK, will see what other time can be permitted. They have some restrictions on letting outsiders come in. Or if you could drop by at 3-3:30 on sunday, that would do too. Or before 9am.

For your networking problems. Check these 2 files

/etc/network/interfaces

address 202.88.xxx.xxx
netmask 255.255.255.0
gateway 202.88.xxx.xxx

auto eth0

If it's not there, then edit the file as root, using whatever text editor you're familiar with
Give your IP adress besides address feild and gateway besides gateway feild.

/etc/resolv.conf

nameserver 127.0.0.1
nameserver 202.88.130.15
nameserver 202.88.130.5
nameserver 202.88.130.67

That's how my entry looks like. Edit yours to replace the DNS entries. I believe they should be the same, except the first one. I run bind locally on my PC.
