I am using a router to access the internet on my laptop. It is connected to the network and its allowed and everything, but I cannot access any internet pages. Is there anything i need to do on the laptop to get it to work?
I am using this program for using an OS off the disk because I had to remove the hard drive as it was not working. So basically the laptop has everything but the hard drive. I was hoping to make it so that I can access the internet thru the laptop but I need to know how to set it up, I cant understand what to do after i aquire a network connection. BTW its at 5.5 on the connection bar. |

It appears that your Laptop is failing to acquire an address from your Linksys access point. You may wish to check the security settings are correct.

From the router you mean? or from laptop?
Well i did have router unplugged and everything for a while cuse we though the whole laptop was trash...but then found out it was just the dang hard drive failed, so...i plugged it back in...maybe something i forgot to do on the router.

At both ends ( Router & Laptop ) the settings on both must match for the connection to work.

Could you issue the following command as root:

iwlist scan

There does not appear to be any security enabled, so no problems there.
This command will make your laptop request an address from the Linksys router: ( also must be done as root )
If that does not output "Bound to" or "DHCPACK" then try removing sources of interference. The bitrate of your connection is extremely low ( 1 mb/s should be near 11 / 36 / 54 )
