Wireless connectivity set up with Netgear DG834G ROUTER AND LINUX 12
New to Linux and need help please to set up my wireless I am using Linux Mint 12 "Lisa" on a Toshiba Satellite Pro M70 with an Intel Pro W/less 2200B/G card installed. The device finds my router and asks for the password then try's to connect but fails I've tried disabling the security and turned off access list protection. Any help appreciated, thankyou.
Cheers Eddie

Hi Mike,
Thanks for your input, have managed to get the router to accept the Toshiba. It was rejecting the Mac address resetting the router cured it. Up to now pleased with LinuxMint "lisa" runs like a dream.

Hi, eddxx.
Glad you got your issue solved!
Just remember to reconfigure any security settings in your router after resetting it!

Yes, it is amazing how many problems are cured by utilizing "the big red switch"...
Sometimes, real fast is almost as good as real time.
Just remember, Semper Gumbi - always be flexible!
