Wireless Internet Problems

AdRtist · 02-06-2010, 01:55 PM

I am running Ubuntu..my wireless network is picking up everyone elses but mine? How can I reconfigure to my wireless network?

You mean, how can you fix the wireless on your own computer? Can you open a terminal prompt (Applications -> Accessories -> Terminal) and type the following:

Code:

sudo lspci -v

give your password, and then post the output that results... We'll get you moving!

maybe your using the same manufacturer as next door? Go for the highest signal level!

You should really create a new thread instead of high jacking one.

The command is 'sudo lspci'.

Also it does not even show on my 'wireless connection...at one point in time it did and now it is gone.

Hi,

Open a terminal and then 'su -' which will require the root password.
Then issue the commands at the cli in the root console. You should then be able to post the information so we can aid you.

It's lspci, starting with lower case 'L'. If it's not found then, it's because sudo doesn't alter regular user's path. Try 'sudo /sbin/lspci' or 'sudo /usr/sbin/lspci'.

post the output of:

Code:

ifconfig
ifconfig -a
iwconfig
lspci
lsusb
lsmod

please copy and paste if possible because if you dont spell the command rite, the computer wont know what you are taliking about. also post the outputs in code tags to make it easy for us to read.
