Hey guys,
I finished building a new pc with some spare parts and I hope to turn it into a media/file server or something similar with Ubuntu 14.04.02(desktop). Never used Ubuntu before, so I'm learning as I go with the OS, playing around with settings and whatnot. Really excited to learn more about Ubuntu.
Now to business. I set the operating system up without any issues, other than the fact it won't read my Belkin N600 DB v2 wireless stick.This is a pretty big problem for me, as my router is located on another floor of my house, so I don't have direct Ethernet access (I could plug in, but I would have to haul a lot of crap down a flight of stairs, set up shop, etc.; don't want to do that ). I have to use wireless sticks on my desktops since they're on a different floor.
Is there any possible way I could connect my ubuntu machine to my Windows 8 laptop and use that internet connection for my Ubuntu machine? I'm just looking for a temporary way to connect until I can either find a way to use my Belkin stick or just buy an internal card for it that's supported by ubuntu. This is turning into a real headche.
If you guys have any suggestions on either getting the wireless stick mentioned before working or connecting through windows, please let me know. I'm a noob with Ubuntu and any help would be greatly appreciated.
If needed, here are my system specs-
AMD FX-6100 3.3Ghz
WD Green 7200 RPM 2TB HDD
G,Skill Ripjaw 4GB 1600Mhz Memory (Single Stick)
Asus M5a78m-lx Plus Motherboard
Kingwin 650w PSU
Ubuntu 14.04.02
Thanks guys.
