   Cannot get my 3G Wireless internet conne   
   01 May 13 23:54:14   
   
   From: Daniel47@teranews.com   
      
   On this HP 6730b Laptop, I multi-boot Win7/MD2009.1/MD2010.1/MD2012/MG2   
   and have my Home in a separate mount (SD8) so that all the linux's can   
   use it!   
      
   Back on 16 Apr (my time), I started a thread called "Inode that were   
   part of a corrupted orphan linked list found", and from those   
   discussions, I fixed the problem and then I figured I'd re-install my   
   MD2009 system, without touching my other installations or my Home set-up.   
      
   I'm guessing I've done something wrong (see below) because, previously,   
   to connect to the internet I'd run Network Centre and select my 3G   
   Wireless connection then I'd open a terminal and run, as user, a script   
   written by my ISP to actually make the connection. Since I fixed the   
   previously mentioned problem, to run my ISP's script I've had to SU in   
   the terminal to be able to run the script.   
      
   *Current situation* When I re-installed MD2009, I had set it up so that   
   I got the little screen to select a User and enter a password, but I   
   think I just hit enter (or may have selected the User but I didn't enter   
   the password, I think), I then went into MCC and stopped the need to   
   select User and enter a password.   
      
   By not entering User name and Password, am I effectively now logged in   
   as a "Guest" user?? And if so, is there a simple way to get me back as   
   User, or do I re-install system again??   
      
   (I have held off on fixing this (using my Win7 installation, instead) as   
   I waited for MG3 to be released in a day or two, but now that it's   
   release has been delayed to 18th May, I figured I'd better try to fix my   
   MD2009!!)   
      
   Thanks for any assistance.
