Thread: Manual wireless not working in 9.04


hi, all. i'm trying desktop machine (that has 2 oses, windows xp , ubuntu 9.04) connect home wireless network manually. i'm using netgear wn111v1 usb adapter ndiswrapper , windows drivers, , i'm using ubuntu's default networkmanager applet try , connected.

wireless network wpa2 encrypted, if makes difference. thing is, can seem router connection, i'm unable ping anywhere, router itself. if try ping anywhere, comes "destination host unreachable".

here settings:

dns servers: 208.67.222.222, 208.67.220.220 (these opendns ip addressses)

no matter these settings, won't net connection. else supposed do?? there command line tool need use?

also, because i'm using desktop machine i'm inherently unable connect? i've heard lot more success stories laptop users desktop users...although don't see why make difference.

edit: adapter works in xp, that's how i'm posting this... hate when no 1 provides native linux support wireless... windows software installs "netgear smart wizard" software gets connected...maybe should try installing smart wizard thing under wine? although surprised if worked, seeing how wine isn't complete...

edit edit: err...i guess you're not supposed post personal ip address on online forum... deleted. assure have correct settings.

what results of following?
code:
route
depending if you're using dhcp, might need run:
code:
dhcpdcd -d eth1
try running , see if works.
