Can't access Net with Wireless connection!


I have been trying for two days to get this wireless connection right, but running into problems.

Using Mandriva 10, I can't seem to get my sister on the wireless network. I've done everything in my power. Here are the specs:

wlan0: Microsoft Corp - MN510 802.11b Adapter
Module name: prism2_usb
Mac Address 00:50:f2:cd:81:98
Bus-USB
Location on the bus : 1

IP Address 192.168.2.30
Mask: 255.255.255.0
Gateway: 192.168.2.1

DNS Server 192.168.2.2

After loading environment, when I float over connection icon, it says "Network is up on interface wlan0"

So what is my problem?

Thanx to anyone who can help!

Oh Yeah, entered encryption key for WEP.

You're gateway is 192.168.2.1 .. doesn't your DNS server need to be the same ? Atleast that's how it works with my router. since my internet goes through the router and it also does my ip things. perhaps this doesn't go for your case.. but i just happened to notice it. Do you have any other pc's with mandriva running the same card and config ?
