[Freedombox-discuss] Need help with getting start

[Dietmar]

Thank you so much, I am in!

What happened was that with nmtui I discovered I had apart of the
Freedombox WAN a "Wired connection" and also a similar double for the
WLAN.
I removed those, restarted the box and can connect to it through the
IP-Address (freedombox.local still does not work).
My guess is, well, on that computer I did a fresh install with a testing
CD including XFCE. I then made sure that the computer was working,
including setting up the wired and WLAN connection. I then upgraded to
SID, checked the system and then installed the freedombox. Because I had
XFCE installed in the first place the network manager already knew the
eth and WLAN and the box _added_ his. For the connection the device
picked the first, which was the wrong one. I should have followed the
hint "do a fresh install" by the letter and just with a very basic
Debian w/o display manager.

So again, thanks, I will surely need more help when I get going (and
maybe I will have learnt to use IRC by then).
