PING packets transmitted, 0 received +errors

Hi,
i set up my wireless network. It works fine, except that I can only send packets, not receive.
Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you,
(this is on archlinux)

bash-3.2# hwdetect --show-net

Also, to connect to WPA encrypted networks, you may need to install and configure wpa_supplicant first. This is why I stick with distros that have the NetworkManager application. It make wireless soooo much easier. __________________ Paul Please do not PM me with requests for help. I will not reply.

I was thinking about using network manager, too. Only thing is that it's a tray icon application and Gtk. I am using enlightenment as my wm and it wouldn't really fit, plus I have to deal with keeping it minimized all the time. btw, I am getting errors for nm-applet: Code: $ nm-applet (nm-applet:6894): WARNING : <WARN> nma_dbus_init(): could not acquire its service. dbus_bus_acquire_service() says: 'Connection ":1.30" is not allowed to own the service "org.freedesktop.NetworkManagerInfo" due to security policies in the configuration file' I guess I'll check the configuration file ... Thanks again,

Read the thread about it here; http://www.linuxforums.org/forum/red...top-error.html Fedora released update fixes for most of it, but I still had to edit the /etc/dbus-1/system.conf file, as suggested in the link posted by devils casper. __________________ Paul Please do not PM me with requests for help.
