H.i.M,

Sorry, I totally missed your post with the network setup!

No problem getting hints either! The log file you're looking for is either /var/log/daemon.log and/or /var/log/syslog. You can get just the relevant logs by running one of these commands, depending on the file you want to look at. You could even open two terminals and run both at the same time to get both logs in one shot!

tail -F /var/log/daemon.log | tee -a ~/Desktop/daemon.log
tail -F /var/log/syslog | tee -a ~/Desktop/syslog

Those commands will display the logs in the terminal, and also make files on your desktop with the same name as the log file you're looking at. After running the command, try to connect. When you're done, just push Ctrl+C in the terminal to stop collecting logs. The resulting files can be uploaded here.
