Wireless internet doesn't work on laptop at school (Ubuntu 5.04)
Hi,
Been using ubuntu 5.04 for a little over a week and so far I am liking it. I'm a big computer noob and i'm trying my best not to say something stupid. I am having trouble trying to get my wireless internet to work in college. I think I have it set up correctly cause it works fine when I connect wirelessly at home. For some reason when I try to configure my connection it shows 6 availible wireless networks (named langaracollege) with the same name. When I am using windows xp it only shows 1 availible wireless networks named langaracollege. It works fine under windows xp. In ubuntu it just won't connect, if I select langaracollege and click ok then it would show the activating eth0 popup for a long time and still doesn't connect. For the name (SSID or something) I put langaracollege and I left the WEP key part empty. I am using a dell 700m laptop with the Intel® PRO/Wireless 2200 Internal Wireless network card. Any help at all would be great as I am totally stuck. |
Try connecting form the command line
Make sure you can see the network Code:
iwlist scan Code:
/sbin/ifconfig eth0 down Code:
dhcpcd -d -h $(hostname) eth0 |
