  Hello all
  
  New to KOS
  
  I am assuming, by virtue of the fact that Simply Browser seems to lock up after having a web address input and either clicking reload or hitting Enter, that something is amiss.
  
  I am on broadband
  in the UK
  What do I need to do in the NETWORK screen(s) to set myself up?
  
  
  cheers muchly

you can use 'stackcfg' to set up your ip/dns/gateway/subnetmask. (dont forget to select 'packet driver')
But you can also use dhcp, easiest way is by the application called 'autodhcp'.
This last application will output information to the debug board in tab 'user'

We're having problems with the network stack in latest distributions, so there's a good chance kernel will hang.

Good luck anyway
