wireless signal strenght is between 41/43%
this card runs on the same router at max always 100% but using a different OS.
also cannot connect to the net in general,network manager says its connected both led,s are flashing (this indicates a proper connection) ,Im puzzled

my specs are in the post pcmcia feisty issue, in this forum

do you have nameservers in your /etc/resolv.conf file?

[starind]

have tried too change default server for my country,didnt work,also I have tried the utility for feisty to find the best server,it pinged about 50 of 125 servers and gave a connection error

[je_fro]

Can you please show me the contents of your resolv.conf ?

[starind]

there are 2 resolv conf files so I copyd and pasted the info from both,below

# generated by NetworkManager, do not edit!



nameserver 192.168.x.xxx (this IP is my dns gateway and server and is correct


output of second resolv conf

search com
nameserver 204.11.126.131
nameserver 64.125.134.133
nameserver 64.125.134.132
nameserver 208.185.179.218

[je_fro]

what do you mean there's 2 resolv.conf files? there's only supposed to be one!

[starind]

after searching for resolv.conf

I get these 2 files and 1 folder

resolv.conf /etc (this one contains my dns server IP which is correct

resolv.conf /usr/share/ubuntu-docs/ubuntu/sample ( this one contains the various IP,s)

resolv.conf.5.gz /usr/share/man/man5

[je_fro]

the file /etc/resolv.conf is the one that gets the nameservers...if these are your nameservers, put them in there:

nameserver 204.11.126.131
nameserver 64.125.134.133
nameserver 64.125.134.132
nameserver 208.185.179.218

[starind]

I dont know what these various IP,s are,

search com
nameserver 204.11.126.131
nameserver 64.125.134.133
nameserver 64.125.134.132
nameserver 208.185.179.218

the etc/ conf file has just one entry and its the IP that gives me web access,
anyway I will paste the IP,s above, into etc/,and post back.

[je_fro]

I don't know what you mean by pasting into etc/
that's a directory, and we're concerned with a text file /etc/resolv.conf
change your current resolv.conf file to contain this: (from opendns)

nameserver 208.67.222.222
nameserver 208.67.220.220

yes I meant paste into text conf file, I cannot edit the conf file,it says I do not have permision and Im not the owner? I checked the permissions in properties and its greyed out

[je_fro]

you have to be the root user to change that file

okay I was able to edit through terminal as root, the new nameserver IP,s havnt made a differance, in the link you suggested I also tryd this,, Using OpenDNS with DHCP to no avail, I noticed that when I put in my wep key and choose shared key in network manager that it searches but cannot connect, if I do the same and choose open system it connects, but I cannot get web access .
my router is set for dhcp and wep so im realy puzzled
