Hi there All,
I am trying to connect to a wireless network with my almost brand new installation Ubuntu Dapper 6.06. Everything looks fine with the configuration but at this point don't know what is happening.
Here comes my configuration details for you part by part to let you see at which point I am ( let me know if I forgot something :

Yes, I see a network around me, access point available, let's connect to it : [/QUOTE]
Oh oh, there is not IP, so...should I?:
root@ganga:/home/daniel# ifconfig eth1 192.168.1.15 netmask 255.255.255.0
and then :

root@ganga:/home/daniel# ifconfig eth1 down

dmesg | tail

And of course I still have no internet conection, also no possible to ping google. Seems to me that it may have something to do with the following line in dmesg
[17181820.836000] eth1: no IPv6 routers present[/QUOTE]
but no idea what to do...
I have disabled Ipv6 on Firefox deactivating the option in
( about
:config )
Then on the file: /etc/modprobe.d/aliases
added and commented the following:
alias net-pf-10 ipv6 off
alias net-pf-10 off
alias ipv6 off
#alias net-pf-10 ipv6
I now I am close, I don't surrender, possibly I am doing something wrong, I am relatively new in this things, anyway I am loving it, I love you all for reading this and trying to help me and to help the many people that are in the exact same point where I am... maybe...so then ... the winner of the vacuum cleaner is....
Ubuntu Dapper - network unreachable ipv6 server not found
