The settings on both Windows and Ubuntu are identical. I also use Google's 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4 always on my computers (though that's a good tip) but unfortunately, the Ubuntu computer was unable to ping 8.8.8.8 or 8.8.4.4 or 4.2.2.[1-7]. Weirdly, NetworkManager would not let me configure the DNS settings either. The 'Apply' button was greyed out. However, in a surprising development, after I put my laptop under suspend and then brought it back up later it connected and now works pretty much flawlessly except for signal being oddly low and the wireless network running at 1 Mb/s. I believe this is just erroneously being reported, though, since I can download at 230 kB/s from the Internet. Thanks for your help! -- Roshan George _______________________________________________ ILUGC Mailing List: http://www.ae.iitm.ac.in/mailman/listinfo/ilugc
