menendez Posted January 22, 2011 Report Share Posted January 22, 2011 Hello, I have a new router. I have been able to connect all my wireless devices including Win7 PCs, Wii, DSi's, wireless network printer with no trouble except my Mandriva 2010.2 KDE PC. From the graphical control panel I am not getting any useful feedback beyond a connection failed message. I am using WPA2-PSK which I have used in the past with no trouble. Any suggestions on trouble shooting would be greatly appreciated. Thank You, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Batson Posted January 22, 2011 Report Share Posted January 22, 2011 (edited) Have you set up your Firewall in MCC (Mandriva Linux Control Center)? Start > Tools > System Tools > Configure Your Computer > Security > Set up your personal firewall. You can also try deleting your existing connection and recreating a new one there.

SilverSurfer60 Posted January 23, 2011 Report Share Posted January 23, 2011 You could run 'ifup' in a command shell. It at least gives you a clue as to what it is doing. If you don't know the command just open a shell and type (as root) ifup followed by whatever the dice is that you are connecting with. E.G. 'ifup eth0', for your first hardwired connection, or 'ifup wlan0' for your first wireless lan. You will get a bit more information of what is happening. If you want more information on what the process is doing run in a separate shell 'tail -f /var/log/syslog' and watch real time log entries of the attempted connection.

menendez Posted January 23, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 23, 2011 I tried clearing the connection and recreating it, didn't work. I tried cycling the power to the router, didn't work.

scarecrow Posted January 23, 2011 Report Share Posted January 23, 2011 What about dropping the disfunctional Mandriva draknetcenter, and using wicd or NetworkManager instead? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
menendez Posted April 23, 2011 Author Report Share Posted April 23, 2011 I finally got it to work by giving up on WPA2 and just using WPA. For whatever reason Mandriva was the only network device I have that won't work with the router using WPA2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
