erm could you be more specific and possibly type more clearly? Who's they? I'm guessing you have the only linux system on some network and are having trouble getting internet to work but i need a bit more info to tell you what to do. What's the specific problem? Are you using dhcp or what? What do you mean by locked network with no administrator?

i cant access the net, when i type dhcpcd it wont detect my net. so im thinking it just the network coz they are all on a workgroup, i did try to boot a windows system from my other laptop but i still cant connect to there internet so im guessing i need to use samba to connect to there server or something like that.

when i try to start samba its sayin

bash-2.05b# /etc/init.d/samba start
* Starting samba...
lpstat: Unable to connect to server: Connection refu [ ok ]
bash-2.05b#
