Bill, That's how it's set. I somehow also managed to configure it for WAN access until I realized that's what I did and turned it off. The Asus is configured correctly now. I learned how to properly use wicd-client and wicd-curses on my new Dell laptop (running Slackware-current) and it connects via the Asus now (as well as over the Ethernet cable which is faster). So, given that the Asus works with the Dell, I need to finish getting the Toshiba with xubuntu working with it. Just turned on the Toshiba and opened a terminal. The nm-applet icon on the panel keeps spinning. A left-click shows the local network AP (the Asus) as well as some of the neighbors'. A right-click tells me there's no connection. Now and again a box pops up telling me that our local AP wants a passphrase. The one it displayed when the 'show password' box was checked was the admin password for the Asus, not the PSK. I changed that to the PSK and it still will not connect. Sigh. I'm really out of ideas. The Toshiba finds and connects to the wireless AP at the Gresham Borders store so why won't it connect to the local AP it sees here?
