Not the problem. DNS works fine when wired to the same router. I can't ping my router using the wireless card, so my guess is that the card isn't communicating with the access point. If I kill the wired connection, the card detects other access points in the neighborhood (all secured). Any ideas on how to determine if my own access point is active? > If so then there is a DNS fault > > derek ____________________________________________________ Want to buy your Pack or Services from Mandriva?
