Welp... it's now 8.55pm and for the last hour or more i've had NO wireless connectivity (oh i'm on vodafone cable too). the tablet sitting beside the AP shows the wireless network as being not in range. teh analyser shows my channel as being 13 but it's from 9 - 13 and the next AP goes from 7 - 11. the dbm is -30 to -10dBm on the graph and the other network is -90 to -60dBm or so. Now the analzeris saying no dns - but it's good to go on the cabled desktop box i'm writting this on. > ______________________ _________________________ > Linux-users mailing list > [email protected] > http://lists.canterbury.ac.nz/mailman/listinfo/linux-users _______________________________________________ Linux-users mailing list [email protected] http://lists.canterbury.ac.nz/mailman/listinfo/linux-users
