After downloading the andLinux installer (KDE version), launch the installer as Administrator. And follow the steps with default options set.
Reboot/Restart machine after installation.
Click on Unblock if the Firewall prompts.
After the reboot, you click on Konsole (any) launcher on KDE Menu from system tray, you are likely to get this error "could not launch ... could not connect to 192.168.11.150"
So this guide explains how to fix this issue, for the launchers to work on Windows Vista.
First thing to do is to go to the "Network and Sharing Center" from Control Panel. You can see the "customize" and "view status" links on "Unidentified Network". Click on the "view status", click on properties and double click "Internet Protocol Version 4". That should open up a dialog where you can change the IP and the subnet mask, change the IP to 192.168.10.1 and subnet mask to 255.255.254.0. Click on OK OK ....
Secondly, open the "andlinux Console" get sudo access and edit the file /etc/network/interfaces.
After edit the file should have IP of 192.168.10.150 and the mask 255.255.254.0 under eth1
Thirdly edit file /etc/profile to have IPs set to 192.168.10.150
Fourthly navigate to the andlinux installation folder goto Xming folder edit X0.hosts and add the following IPs 192.168.10.150 and 192.168.10.1
Lastly few registry changes, regedit and navigate to \\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\\SOFTWARE\\andLinux\\Launcher
Here you find to keys "IP" and "Port" set them to 192.168.10.150 and 2081 respectively.
(Remember to click on Decimal while editing Port value) And close the regedit.
Finally kill KDE Menu, Xming. Restart andLinux service, and then start Xming and KDE Menu.
Now the launchers work fine.
If clicking on a launcher does not start, you open the andLinux Console application and execute:
"/etc/init.d/networking restart". After this any launcher should work fine.
!Enjoy!

Hi
Can you explain for someone who doesn't know linux what you mean by:
"open the "andlinux Console" get sudo access and edit the file /etc/network/interfaces."
Thanks
Tarek, after you install "andLinux" you will get an icon for andLinux Console on Desktop/QuickLaunch. You double click that icon to open the console and type this command "sudo -s" and hit enter, when it prompts for password enter the password. This way you get sudo access. Then type this command "vi /etc/network/interfaces" and hit enter to open the file for editing...
Hope this makes it clear and sorry for the delay :)
