Hi there folks what an amazing little distro slitaz is great work
keeps this old hippy happy

Well my problem is when i try connect to web via usb thats connected
to my phone cant get internet seems it cant pick up via usb but works
well at home via ethernet cable

i tried even install wicd and running it when away from home no luck
hope someone can shine a light on my problem had no problems like this on the other distros but to heavy for it wanted something small

maybe some kind person can cook me up a iso that has a different network manager
that be great

bear with me am dyslecic and still on the happy bus amsure from the 70s

Hi HippyJ,

Try this:

Boot with your phone connected via usb and then
- TazPanel > Network > Ethernet
  In Configuration, select usb0
  Click [Start]
or
- from a terminal as root:
  
  ifconfig eth0 down
  ifconfig usb0 up
  leafpad /etc/network.conf
  
  replace INTERFACE="eth0" by INTERFACE="usb0"
  save and quit
  type /etc/init.d/network.sh restart
Has worked for me.
