Oops, sorry about that. I understand now. Iturned off WEP on both... the right way with iwconfig wlan0 key off. And it works! When there is no WEP, I'm surfing the web. Excellent! But when I turn on WEP... I go back to the same $h!t. One thing I'm not sure about is which one to use. 'Open' or 'restricted'. Im using a netgear router and the the only options it has is Automatic, open system, or shared keys. Those are my "Authentication Type" options that my AP has. I currently have them set to automatic (on the AP) but i did try open and other combinations to know luck. No clue here and since I'm off to work right now, cant google this. > Strange, I've not had any problems. Fedora has been rock solid for > me.

Since I'm still learning the whole Linux thing, I just want to foucs on 32 where I haven't had any problems... or at least serious ones ;). Soon or later I WILL got to 64.

Same and extension. And its OK like I said above, WEP turned off it works! 8) Any clues on how to turn WEP back on? Thanks! -- - radioact1ve radioact1ve@xxxxxxxxx http://radioact1ve.blogspot.com/
