To ping, use your router address from the command line: ping 192.168.1.1 or ping 192.168.0.1 I'd have to see your computer to really say what's wrong, but basically if you can ping your router and it comes back with 64's, then your default gateway may not be set. Also you can try to use your router's address as the nameserver:
Edit the file /etc/network/interfaces and add these 2 lines under the section for your wireless card, then do sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart from the terminal You will need to use sudo for both, and gksudo gedit to edit the file gateway 192.168.1.1dns-nameservers 192.168.1.1 (use 0.1 at the end if your router uses that [for both lines]) then also try: sudo dhclient if it still does not connect You really shouldn't have to do any of this, but if it ran amuck somehow hopefully this may help. It's just a bit of linux that sometimes goes awry On Sep 6, 8:40 pm, cliff <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > I recently purcahsed a new g notebook and having difficulty setting up > a wireless connection with my linksys WRT-300N.
