Wireless connections ubuntu 7.10

How many wired and wireless computers do you have ion the network.
Do you have any wired computer ?
Connect your laptop to the router with the Ethernet cable and try to access Internet. See if the wired connection is working or not.
If the wired connection is working then I think you will need to check the wireless settings of the router and the laptop.

How to connect to the wireless network

computer says its connected to an Unidentified Network Wireless router not working

Ubuntu 10.10 for some reason made WIFI stop working you need to connect to the moden or router with a network cable and let ubuntu update itself. Best thing would be to update to ubuntu 11.04 which is the latest version.
Best to you!

Go into your UBUNTU netwrok settings and make sure the wireless is sending the correct Security and is set to the proper security mode. Unlike the wired connection most wireless connections are protected and require the computer that connects to send the correct key.

ubuntu's wireless support is flakey, but it improved with Ubuntu 9.04

I had a similar problem in Ubuntu 8.10 with Netgear WNDA3100. Recommend that you install Ubuntu 9.04 -- to get your Netgear wireless-N USB device working.

hi, first you will have to see if you are able to go to the router configuration home page. it is visited by typing 192.168.0.1 or 192.168.1.1. for first try connect your laptop in wired mode with the router. once everything is fine you can go wireless. see if everything is working fine in wired mode. if not revert back to us. we will tel you what is the next step thank you sweet rascal

u can not turn OFF and then RESET :) Hehe

NO POWER NO RESET

kindly turn the power ON to router and then press the RESET button at the back of router for 30 SEC and when ur router blinks lights and restart it self that means u have resetted ur router to factory default settings

but ur problem seems like wireless card driver or hardware problem to me bcoz ur PC connects ok but MAC dont connect that means router workd fine , but may be some settings problem u can rESET and check

and kindly rate me WELL !

wireless problem is there re-configure the wireless router go to the wireless option then cilk right information then you get it

You need to log on with admin privileges to make changes.

Confirm settings in vista network properties (tcp/ip) are correct.

Most home router has an IP address of 192.168.1.1 or 192.168.2.1. If you dad's laptop can connect to the router just fine, then it's a problem with your linux laptop. Can you see other wireless networks on your laptop?
