The idea was to install a lxde lightwieght on it, and use PCLINUXOS, because its "easy". This computer is for internet browsing and thats it.
Under the Network Center -- I can see all networks, including neighbours. When i try to connect to my router via Wireless, I get connection failed over and over.
I then tried doing all the following
Changing the router from WEP to, WPA, WPA2 personal, WPA2 Enterprise
Changing the SSID, broadcasting to ON, changing the SSID name
Ive used various different passwords, and reset the router now about 50 times.
I am connecting to my Router (as Ive changed the SSID and noticed it picks up the new name)
(Yes I can see the correct MAC addreess)
Yes Im on the right channel,
all good here.
-- Hell my Nintendo DS is connecting fine with all the changed settings now, lol
The wireless card worked fine under Windows XP (However I just removed the operating system since I really had no need for it)
Ive tried every other mode, it works wired.
Like i had explained above, I downloaded a what I thought was an easy verison (distro), I was really hoping to get away from the crazy windows life with crazy errors and instability.
However, Im just flabbergasted again, this is just about giving me grey hairs. This is more buggered up then windows for me :-(
I read other ppls forum answers.
and I did try enabling display log, and doing it manually by adding a connection, etc
The log tells me about as less would a windows event log :P
it says
Problems occured during the network connectivity test
This can be caused by invalid network config or problems w/ your momde / router
Reluanch, etc
:(
