Hello all,
I am using Kubuntu on my laptop with Windows on dual boot. When I am booted in Windows i s can connect to my wireless router just fine, so I know the router works. When I am Running the Linux Kernal i can connect just fine with the wireless router at school or at my friend's house. But when I am booted in Linux and trying to connect to my router at home I cna't get connected. I am using ndiswrapper and usign the following commands.

iwconfig wlan0 essid bnkhome
dhclient wlan0

when i do this everywhere else it works just fine but for some reason it doesn't work when i am at home.

Thanks,
BrannDon

Is the router set to use WEP, WPA or MAC address filtering?

Post the output of iwconfig & ifconfig.

it is not secured in any way. I didi actually go into the router and manually configure it to amke sure that there wasn't anything that was keeping me from connecting, didn't see anything to change other than to change to channel that my wireless signal is using in order to avoid interference.

I'm not quite sure how to make iwconfig run verbosely. It doesn't give me any errors when i run iwconfig wlan0 essid bnkhome, so i am not quite sure how to see the output.

iwconfig wlan0 will show the wireless parameters and indicate if the card is associated with the access point.

ifconfig wlan0 will show the network parameters.
