To clarify my configuration, my wireless connection is from my ISP. It just does not seem to use DHCP to obtain my IP, DNS etc. automatically. I have tried the NetworkManager as well with no luck. My network adaptor is an Intel 82801DB Pro/EV(CNR) as reported by FC3. There seems to be some downstream traffic over the connection, but upstream is either very slow, or not working (after 1/2 hour I had 4kb) Ryan On Thu, 03 Mar 2005 23:02:28 -0500, Scot L.
