You started in the right place - iwconfig Does it show the correct ESSID and encryption key? Does it show a signal quality? Can you configure the connection with iwconfig? (See 'man iwconfig') If iwconfig looks OK but yet you still have no Internet look at your route with 'route' The default route should be through your wireless connection. Is there a default gateway defined? (Assuming you have a router) If that works, but yet you still cannot connect then maybe you have a DNS problem does ping 66.94.230.42 work while ping www.yahoo.com does not? If so then there is a DNS fault derek -- www.jennings.homelinux.net ____________________________________________________ Want to buy your Pack or Services from Mandriva?
