In the boot when it brings up the wlan0 interface it says OK but it takes a while.

I would like to know a little more about this commands, whats the diference bettwen iwconfig and ifconfig and the grafical network configuration, are they compatible. what is the route command for. I hope my ignorance is not damaging the system too much.

If all the drivers and the data configuratiion of ips... are well... Do you have to do anything or do you automaticaly connetc to the internet? Is my defaul gateway the ip of my router..?

according to your read out you are connected to your router. only problem I see is you are using a ndiwrapper driver.(module) But that is ok. did you get your router to talk to your IP internet provider. this is set up through a gatway URL it will start with 192.186.xxx.xxx
and if you have. then you may need to call your provider and ask them how to bind your mac address to there system. That is how the broadband boy's do it they use your mac address hardware and bind it to there IP so only that hardware can connect. comcast insight etc same thing. Why windows can do it they have a pre-built program that configures it for you until something happens. good luck.

Thx for the repy.
I cant even ping the router. When I ping 192.168.1.1 I dont get any pong to my packages. "Destination Host Unreachable"
(I can ping to myself ping 192.168.1.34)

Can you further explain the Mac adress thing, I dont understand.
when I system-config-network It says that my hardweare pci is bind to mac. And this mac number is diferent to the mac of the network when I scann whith swconfig. could you give me an example of what you say I could do?

I didnt install ndiswraper... does it come by default?
The most frustrating thing is that I once got it working right after the instalation of FC8 whithout much work and now after reinstalling FC8 (dont ask me why i did that) I cant get it to work. Thats why I say I must have broken something.. But on the other hand this makes me think it must not be too dificult.

In my windows partition It works. but it losses connection sometimes and I reboot the router to fix that. That could be a problem of the os but maybe the ISP router is not working at its best...

what could be the reason..

Thumbs up its fixed

thanks for the advice, I'll do that. After many hours of research and frustration and repeating the same things over and over specting different results I discovered that my firewall was blocking all connections. So its fixed. I fell silly but I've learned things...
