jlc Posted September 22, 2004 Author Share Posted September 22, 2004 I looked and there are some filter options and stuff you can do in synaptic, not sure how it all works though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FX Posted September 22, 2004 Share Posted September 22, 2004 Well I got my wireless somewhat working. I have signal strength on the monitor but cannot get to the lan or net. I have a dhcp isp, but I have the network here setup on static. Here is my /etc/network/interface configuration. Probably not right. I know some of what it means, but there are things that i don't really now. #Wireless Info # The loopback network interface auto lo iface lo inet loopback # The primary network interface #auto ath0 iface ath0 inet 192.168.0.6 #auto ath0 iface ath0 inet 192.168.0.6 wireless_mode managed wireless_essid mshome wireless_ap auto wireless_keymode open wireless_key1 wireless_defaultkey The cat5 onboard lan works great. Which is eth0. Thanks ahead of time. :) FX Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jlc Posted September 22, 2004 Author Share Posted September 22, 2004 (edited) Quick question, if your on a laptop, why would you use a static ip? what does iwconfig & iwlist scanning show? Why do you have 2 of these? # The primary network interface#auto ath0 iface ath0 inet 192.168.0.6 #auto ath0 iface ath0 inet 192.168.0.6 Edited September 22, 2004 by cybrjackle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FX Posted September 23, 2004 Share Posted September 23, 2004 Hey cybr your never going to believe this!!!! The problem was with the wireless_ESSID name. I have mshome in small letters. I went into #ubuntu and they gave me a hand and suggested to put mshome in caps. The wireless fired right up. I had no idea that caps would have anything to do with it. I really do appreciate all your help last night. Starting to like Ubuntu a little more now. FX Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
