can I leverage off our new comcast wireless internet.
Folks, The problem is: how to keep this short and maintain some logic... Okay, I'll start with the several times that thought.org was down during my migration from an OLD to a new server. Got that done late last month. Wife+daughter were at me whenever my system was down; finally I said, fine, you both order Comcast; I'll make do with my telco, Qwest. Yesterday morning the cable installer used our telco line and now we have two Internet feeds. --I'll spare you the 28 hours thought.org was dead; I'll just say that going to one's thinking-place and thinking-thinking-thinking does good sometimes. My *switch* needed to be power-cycled. Now I am back; now on to other things.-- A few of you have made mention of my only having one link to the Internet. Now there are two available: the telephone company and the cable company. Can I make use of comcast to give me a secondary nameserver, somehow, someway, I don't care how? My ThinkPad has builtin wireless detection; that much showed up when I was using Windoze. I have Zero idea about my Dell server. The long and the short of it is: can I take advantage of having two 'Net connections, and if so, how? -- Gary Kline kl...@thought.org http://www.thought.org Public Service Unix http://jottings.thought.org http://transfinite.thought.org The 7.79a release of Jottings: http://jottings.thought.org/index.php ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org
Wireless internet connetction issues
Hi I have(?) an internet connetction issue... I have a router connected to a windows box downstaires (Lynksis wAG354G) and i use a wirelless usb adapter (Lynksis WUSB54G). It works fine under windows and even if some times the signal is lost usually it comes back by either moving the antenna a little or by restarting the network configuration tool. In FreeBSD the adapter is visible and uses ural0 driver. So if give the command ifconfig ural0 inet 192.168.1.65 netmask 255.255.255.0 but i cannot connect to the internet or see the windows box. Now comes the strange part. if i press ifconfig ural0 i get: ural0: flags=108843UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST,NEEDSGIANT mtu 1500 inet6 fe80::212:17ff:fe81:881a%ural0 prefixlen 64 scopeid 0x1 ether 00:12:17:81:88:1a media: IEEE 802.11 Wireless Ethernet autoselect (OFDM/36Mbps) status: associated ssid linksys channel 11 bssid 00:14:bf:cb:71:32 authmode OPEN privacy OFF txpowmax 100 protmode CTS bintval 100 but still i cannot connect to web pages or ping hosts. I use KDE 3.5 and i do the following: from the Kmenu -settings-internet and Network- Network settings and on the card Network interfaces i see that there is only onde availiable interface fxp0 dhcp Disabled Ethernet Network Device. I know that this is my ethernet onboard card but if i choose Enable Interface i can connect to the internet!! I assume that something runs in the background that enables as well my wireless card but what is this? So what's the problem you may ask... the problem is that in case that my connection is lost i cannot do anything to get it back up. i have tried dhclient ural0 and nothing happents same with ifconfig ural0 up... I have to reboot and do the procudure again and the problem is that it fails often if i leave the net for a while...

Add the following to /etc/rc.conf: ifconfig_ural0=DHCP Then, ifconfig ural0 up will invoke dhcp to configure everything for you, including your gateway and routing table. You may also want to look at your routing table to see what's going on: # netstat -nr And flush the table if things go wrong with: # netstat flush I have to do this when moving from a wired connection to a wireless connection in order to reset my default route (gateway).

FreeBSD 6.1 laptop with wireless internet
Dear Colleagues, I have a laptop with FreeBSD 6.1 on it and it is working fine. I recently received a card for wireless internet; it is in fact a Verizon Wireless PC5740 card and I am wondering if I can set it up on my FreeBSD laptop. I googled about it and I found [1] mentioning about some configuration in the kernel. I also checked the wireless network section in the Handbook, but I did not make any progress. Could you give me some hints and advice about this? Thank you in advance for your help. Regards Rambius P.S. I verified that the card is really working on a Windows laptop.

Re: Wireless internet
your best bet is to get a card that's natively supported by freebsd. i have had good luck with d-link 802.11g cards that use the atheros chipset, but any manufacturer's card(using atheros) should work the same. these cards are pretty inexpensive, and you'll probably have a lot better luck with them. you could also get a wireless bridge and just plug it into your wired network card, but i would rather get the wireless card. it's a little more flexible, and probably cheaper too. good luck --luke ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Wireless internet
Hello, I would like to set up my gnome FreeBSD (v 5.2.1) to connect wirelessly to my home network. I have a linksys 802.11b wireless router/ switch, how can I set up my computer to work wirelessly? I can't hard wire, wireless is the only thing I have left. I've already learned from a FreeBSD dude that USB adaptors won't work. Right now I'm looking at a wireless B 802.11 linksys PCI adaptor. I also learned that I can make use of project evil to use windows XP drivers. Is this project evil already on my system? Or do I have to download it, because if I have to install it. yea. I'm an annoying newbie to the Linux background, im slowly learning though. I was told if I left a message here, I might get some help. I don't know if this matters or not, but this computer will run as a 24/7 web server. Security isn't that big of a deal, I hear that's the big bummer with wireless. But with the web server part, I know where to find help for that. I cant even get it connected when I hook the computer up down by the router hard-wire. Any help would be nice, please send it to my email ( [EMAIL PROTECTED] ). Thanks to the dudes that I seem to be bugging with my annoying questions, your help is greatly appreciated!

Siemens USB Wireless Internet
Hi, I have a Siemens USB Wireless SS1022 but haven't seemed to get it to work with FreeBSD. Is USB Wireless supported or unsupported but possible in FreeBSD? Dought if the following will be of any use, but I took it from the SS1022 Datasheet. Details on the SS1022: WLAN Type:802.11b USB Type:v1.0/v1.1 Radio Technology: Direct Sequence Spread Spectrum (QPSK, BPSK, CCK) Frequency Band: ISM Band, 2.412~2.462 GHz (for US, Canada) __ Do you Yahoo!?
