| 690945 | 2008-07-21 22:53:00 | Depending on what youre using (WEP or WPA), you need a passphrase, similar to a password. If you want it to be secure Both have to be the same |

| 690947 | 2008-07-22 00:15:00 | You just need to enter your code, making sure you've got the right settings. What do you use in XP? just use the same thing in Ubuntu.. | Agent_24 (57) | ||
| 690948 | 2008-07-22 01:16:00 | got connected but will not load any page I type in just comes up as error and xtra said they will not answer anything to do with this linux system | loftyboyd (1310) | ||
| 690949 | 2008-07-22 01:24:00 | What error do you get? How are your LAN IP addresses set up? are you using Auto (DHCP) or did you manually set it up? | Agent_24 (57) | ||
| 690950 | 2008-07-22 01:55:00 | thanks for help but taking it out as xtra suggested | loftyboyd (1310) | ||
| 690951 | 2008-07-22 03:42:00 | Wait, why are you listening to Xtra? What you should do is put no security on your router, see if that works. If it does, then increase it to WEP and beyond. Ubuntu is usually very good with finding and using wireless networks. |
