Could you give us a little more information?
Your wireless card model perhaps? The kind of encryption your network is using? The driver you are using for this card?
Are you able to ping anything?
What is the output of
?Code:iwconfig
well i'm using wep encryption im using a belkin f5d6001 pci card the output of iwconfig is:
wlan0 IEEE 802.11b Mode:Managed Frequency:2.422 GHz
Access Point: Not-Associated Bit Rate=11 Mb/s Sensitivity=80/85

and i can't ping anything
It says right there that you are not connected.Quote:
