Hi, Raja, I should say that it worked itself out. I suspended my laptop and when I later woke it up it connected to the wireless network and I had Internet access. Strange, eh?

My default gateway is the WiFi router at 192.168.1.1 This works on Windows and I'm loath to change it lest the Windows computers here stop working. > Disable DHCP service on your WiFi router and use only > the DSL modem DHCP service in your LAN. > For further troubleshooting, list the IPs of your WiFi > router, DSL modem and IP config of your Linux box. Here's the thing. The Airtel tech set it up like this so I can't explain why it is the following way, but anyway here you go: Modem: 192.168.1.1 (if I connect to it directly with cable) Router: 192.168.1.1 (if I connect to it over wireless) My laptop: 192.168.1.2 (on both Windows and Ubuntu) Another laptop: 192.168.1.4 A desktop: 192.168.1.7 The last two are Windows-only. As you can see, I'm unable to access the modem while connected to the router. Thank you for your help. Unfortunately, I'm not about to change anything now that it is all working. You know how it is, "if it's working, don't fix it" :) Regards, -- Roshan George _______________________________________________ ILUGC Mailing List: http://www.ae.iitm.ac.in/mailman/listinfo/ilugc
