wireless
pugliese:
I have tried to using wicd to set up wireless with WEP. I see availabe wireless routers and when I connect the gui shows connected and I see an ip address. However I can not ping from another computer on the LAN or I cannot download a page in a browser.
I installed TC on a eeepc 900a which has an Athos wireless and works with the 900a linux os
Any suggestions
Tony

Please be more precise.
What is the relation between wireless and LAN with your setup?
pugliese:
ATT DSL service with 2Wire router and I have 4 computers on the network 3 wireless and 1 wired.
I have no problems getting through to the internet with TC with the Assus eeepc 900a when connected by a cable.
maro:
Are you only using the WiFi or do you have (at the same time) also an ethernet connection?
So to get some idea I wonder if you could post the output of
ifconfig -a ; cat /etc/resolv.conf ; route ; iwconfig
pugliese:
Maro,
on the Asus 900a that TC resides I use Ethernet to connect and download wicd-2.6.
Connected with the Ethernet I enter:
sudo wicd-start;
applications->wicdNetworkManager
I see several available networks;
I then unplug the Ethernet and:
Select Properties
enter WPA Hex key
Select Connect
then I see ip address is assigned
Open a tc terminal and do the commands you requested:
tc@box ~$: ifconfig -a
