It may help us solve your error. But I do not think that is what is causing the problem. What type of security is your modem/router set up to use? (WEP/WPA/none) If you do not set up the wireless card to use the same security, and/or if you are not using the managed mode on your wireless NIC, you are going not going to get a DHCP lease. </pre> </blockquote> <pre wrap=""> Dear Ellertson This is my ifcfg-wlan0, as you asked: << # Intel Corporation PRO/Wireless 3945ABG Network Connection DEVICE=wlan0 BOOTPROTO=dhcp HWADDR=00:1C:BF:D6:3B:34 ONBOOT=yes NETMASK= DHCP_HOSTNAME= IPADDR= DOMAIN= TYPE=Wireless ESSID=ddnet CHANNEL=3 MODE=Auto RATE=auto SEARCH= DNS2=192.168.1.1 DNS3=192.168.1.1 DNS1=192.168.1.1 USERCTL=no PEERDNS=yes IPV6INIT=no NM_CONTROLLED=no </pre> <pre wrap=""> I am using Fedora 8, with XFCE, though Gnome is installed too. My ADSL modem is Siemens SL2_141. I kept the wireless setting there like: Basic --> Enable Wireless --> (checked) SSID --> ddnet Country --> India Enable Wireless Guest Network --> (unchecked) Security --> Select SSID --> (ddnet) Network Authentication --> Open WEP Encryption --> Disabled In my 'system-config-network' in the laptop I have kept the settings like this: wlan0 --> Activate device when computer starts Automatically obtain IP address --> DHCP Automatically obtain DNS Information --> (checked) Wireless Settings Mode --> Auto Network Name --> Specified --> ddnet Channel --> 1 Transmit rate --> Auto Key --> (nothing) I have tried the Network name --> (Auto) too, with the same results. -- das ddts.randomink.org </pre> </blockquote> Did you try setting MODE=Managed? Do you see your router's ssid broadcast with the following command? # iwlist wlan0 scan Kind regards Christof </body> </html>
