I moved my UBUNTU workstation from basement to second floor and it did not connect to my home network. When moved back to basement level, it connects. Cat5 cable to second floor is 3 time longer than one used to connect in basement, almost 100feet. My Windows XP laptop has no problem in connecting to the network on the second floor using the sane cable that was used with UBUNTU.

When I need to type in the password to get on a wifi network, the "connect" button is grayed out and unclickable until I've typed in 8 characters for the password, making it impossible to connect to networks with shorter passwords. I'm not sure if this problem is unique to 10.10 or not, I've been using linux for a couple years now and I've never tried to connect to a network with such a short password before until last weekend, after my friend figured out how to change his password from the one his ISP set for him.

I currently have a Nexxt Lynx 150 Wireless USB adapter attatched to one of my home destops to recieve my wifi signal, however, i have run into a speed bump in terms of getting it connected to my ubuntu 11.04. This adapter works perfectly in windows and on the ubuntu live cd, but, when i install ubuntu to my hard drive and try to connect to my network,
it just takes a very long time, then says, disconnected. My signal is WPA2-Personal protected. Here is a link to the adapter's home page > [URL] It seems to me that this is a driver problem. The cd that my adapter came with has drivers for linux on it, but i havent the slightest clue how to use them.
Is it possible to connect to a router via a standard phone cord?

View 9 Replies View RelatedI recently fixed an annoying problem and I thought it would be nice to share my solution here. The problem was that after a cycle of suspend/resume, Network Manager would only auto-connect to the same network as it was previously connected to. So, for example, if I suspended my laptop at home, and then I went to school and resumed it, it would try to connect to the home network, and then just give up. It would not connect to the school network unless I explicitly told it to.irst, I'll describe the fix. If you're having this problem, you can this. Copy the following:
Code:

I have used ubuntu in the past but had a lot of hardware issues with it and unfortunately moved back to windows (( BUT i have tried Ubuntu again and all seems to work great except wifi My wifi connection is sort of working because when i run SUDO IWLIST SCAN it does pull up all available networks. But in the network manager icon on the panel i left click but i see no networks and can't connect to anything. I WOULD LOVE TO keep Ubuntu and use it permanently but I must get wifi working or else this won't be possible.
View 4 Replies View RelatedI recently put Linux on a Thinkpad T40 I got. The wireless card works out of the box--I can see nearby networks. However, I can't connect to mine. network-manager would try (spin spin spin), fail, ask for the password, and then go back to the beginning and repeat indefinitely. This happened to me on a different computer, and on that one all I had to do was use wicd instead of network-manager. So I installed wicd, but it's not working either--it hangs at "Obtaining IP address".
I've found many, many threads with people who had the same problem, but none of their fixed worked for me.
I also tried to get wifi going manually, using this guide, but that didn't work.
I'm unable to connect to a particular home wireless network under Fedora 9, although I can connect to it using WinXP on the same machine. My Fedora installation is able to connect to my college's unsecured wireless network, so it's not a driver issue I think.It seems to be an authorisation issue, as I'll describe below, but there's one other thing that's bothering me. The SSID for the network I have problems with is for some reason not listed in Network Manager's drop-down list, nor is it in the output of iwlist wlan0 scan. But I'm pretty sure it's not a "hidden" network - I don't know exactly how those work, but I helped the owner of the wifi network in setting it up, and don't remember doing anything that would make it hidden. As far as I can remember, Windows found the network automatically without having to be told the SSID. What's the best way to confirm whether it's a hidden network or not?
Anyway, I try to connect by selecting connect to other wireless network in Network Manager, and entering the SSID. As far as I can tell from the error messages below, the machine does contact the network and attempt to connect, but I'm not authorising myself properly. That may be a completely wrong diagnosis, but hopefully someone can see from the below info whether it's correct or not.I'm not sure which option to use for "Wireless Security": at the time we set up the network, it gave us a Hex WEP key of 26 characters, which is 104 bits. But none of the options in Network Manager's list match that. Here are the options it has, and the error message I get with each one:None - if I select this, it fails to connect, with no error message.
WEP 128-bit passphrase - if I select this and attempt to use my 26-character WEP key, it brings up a new dialog, saying "Passwords or encryption keys are required to access the wireless network [SSID]." It has a drop-down box labelled "Wireless Security", but this time the only option is "None", and the connect button is disabled, I can only click cancel.
WEP 40/128-bit hex - as above.
WEP 40/128-bit ASCII - The connect button is disabled when I try to use the WEP key, as the string is too long. Despite the fact that it says 40/128-bit, it actually accepts 5 and 13-character strings (40 or 104-bit). Since I've got a 104-bit hex key, I tried converting it to ASCII, but it consists of mostly unprintable characters, so I'm not sure there's any way to actually enter it into the textfield. I might have done something wrong here, so I've put my code below to see if anyone can point out a mistake.
LEAP - requires a username, not applicable here I think. Windows doesn't need one, and we don't have one from when we set the network up.Dynamic WEP (802.1x) - requires username, private key and various other things, all N/A WPA & WPA2 Personal - Brings up a dialog with the same text as for "128-bit passphrase", but this time "WPA & WPA2 Personal" is the only option in the drop-down list, instead of "None". It asks for a password, so I just enter the hex key again - now it asks for the password for the Gnome Default Keyring, which I don't think I've ever set up. Don't know if I can go any further with that, but my understanding is that since we were given a WEP key when we set up the network, WPA will be N/A.WPA & WPA2 Enterprise - as Dynamic WEP. N/A.Hopefully that's enough info that someone can help diagnose the problem. Some of the behaviour of Network Manager described above doesn't make sense to me, and I'm wondering if it's buggy.

I just got connected to Charter Cable Internet service a few days ago and I'm having a weird problem with my home network. Prior to this my network worked fine. On my network I have a desktop running Ubuntu 9.10/64 and Virtualbox with WinXP installed, an HTPC with Ubuntu 9.10/32 installed and a laptop dual booted with Ubuntu 9.10/32 and WinXP. The desktop and HTPC are hard wired to a wireless router and the laptop is wireless. The cable modem is hard wired to the router. I have samba installed and UFW is disabled. The problem is: with the cable modem turned off or on standby, all machines connect to each other and can transfer files, etc just fine but when I activate the cable modem all of the machines can connect to the Internet but the machines running Ubuntu can't connect to each other on the home network. If I boot the laptop into Windows, it can connect to the Linux machines just fine but if I boot it into Linux, it won't connect to the Linux machines but it can connect to the Internet and as far as the desktop, Ubuntu won't connect to the network but Windows running in the Virtualbox with bridged networking can connect to all of the machines.

After the upgrade and restart the problems started.
I wasn't able to connect to my WPA secured network. This was because there was no network in the list to connect to. I installed ndiswrapper, and installed a Windows driver. Blacklisted the old one and yes. This worked. Then the next morning exactly the same problem. I tried to repeat the same process. To bad. This time it didn't worked. I removed the old driver from the blacklist. and tried to update. No luck at all.I searched the forums. I figured to get a list with networks. but when I click mine and enter the pass-phrase it says it's connecting but keeps asking for the pass-phrase, then eventually disconnect.lsmod

I have 2 systems running ubuntu - 1 Karmic and one Lucid - that I am having problems connecting to my wireless network with. On both systems I am trying to use the same USB wireless dongle - a Linksys Wireless G 2.4Ghz 802.11g. On both systems it picks up my network (amongst others) but will not connect. I try to connect, enter the password/key and it processes for a little while an then just comes up with "You are now disconnected...".
I have a BT Homehub (gen 2 I think) which is set up to use WPA/WPA2 (from memonry). I did try downgrading it to WEP and got connected (only tested on one machine) but dont much like using a less secure system.
So I fall upon the mercy of those who are better than me to try and guide me through this. I have looked into it on the forum but couldnt really get my head around the problem.
Give me some info on where to start and how to diagnose the issue?
Just in case anyone wonders - we have a laptop running karmic (im posting this on it now) that has no issues connecting so the network is accessible. I assume the problem I have lies with the linksys adapter and the software using it.
Linux-user, but this has got me scratching my head. I followed this on how to install and configure the DWA-140 to work with Ubuntu 11.04, and "iwlist scan" outputs all of the networks. When i try to connect to my network however, the icon up in the right corner with the signal bars just keeps on going until it prompts for a password to join the network. I enter the password and it goes on for some time, and then it prompts me for the password again.
I'm using a D-Link DIR-655 with the "Only N" mode active. It works fine on other computers (Windows, sigh) but not on my Ubuntu one.
I install 11.04 in my laptop, and now i wana test the 11.04 in my office network.We have a server, that shared the database off our programs in a SAMBA drive. All the others workstations have windows instal and use that databses to work in the programs we have.What i'm traying to do is conect my 11.04 to that network, share files with the others PC, and work in the programs i need like in a win worksation tru wine/crossover. My main problem is that i don't know how to conect to the network and see the other workstations.
