Unhappy Fedora 7 see but can not connect to wireless connections


I have Fedora 7 on my Toshiba Laptop. It runs and loads great. 1 problem I have is that I can see the wireless connections i the area, even my home connection. However, I do not seem to be able to connect to it. I am new to linux and love it already. Do anyone have any suggestions? Thanks

I am from slackware, not sure if Fedora is too different. But you can try the following. OK if your wireless card is working fine, you should see a list of available networks when you give the command:

#iwlist wlan0 scan

If you found your network in the list, then enter:
#iwconfig wlan0 essid "yournetwork"

If your network has a WEP key, append "key YOURKEY" at the end of the previous command. Finally, to automatically get the IP address from your router give:

#dhcpcd wlan0

Your wireless should be connected to your network now.
