How to activate/deactivate network connections

Labels:

  • System -> Administration -> Network
  • Network settings 
      Connections Tab -> Select "Ethernet connection" -> Activate/Deactivate

Note: in Feisty, the network names have changed. Instead of "Ethernet connection", you may have "Wireless connection", "Wired connection" and "Modem connection". Also, they don't have an Activate/Deactivate option. Instead, go to "Properties", and activate or deactivate from there.

First, you'll need to configure your client to connect to the Google Talk service.

To configure your account:

  1. Open Pidgin.
  2. From the Accounts menu, select Add/Edit.



  3. Click Add from the Accounts window.



  4. Enter the following information in the Add Account window:

    • Protocol: XMPP
    • Screen Name: your Google Talk username (without any @ symbol or domain).
    • Server: Enter a server value depending on your type of account:

      • Gmail account users should enter gmail.com
      • Google Mail accounts (example@googlemail.com) should enter googlemail.com
      • If you're signing in with a Google Account that's not linked to any Google email service, enter gmail.com
      • Google Apps users, please visit the Apps Help Center for instructions

    • Password: we suggest leaving this field blank for increased security, but if you'd like to log in automatically, enter your password
    • Local Alias: leave this field blank
    • Remember password: check the box if you'd like Pidgin to remember your password (you won't be prompted to enter it each time you log in, if you select this option)
    • New mail notifications: check the box if you'd like Pidgin to notify you of unread email in your inbox.



  5. Click Save.
Congratulations! You're now ready to connect to the Google Talk service using Pidgin.
