Hi, I have just installed Linux Ubuntu on a spare PC I have, it has all the drivers and everything nessecary to make it work. Inside, I have a PCI WLAN card, when I try to connect to my wireless network (using Wicd Manager) it stops at retriving the IP address, my router was set by the factory to use a non-static IP, but obviosuly using the home network of 192.168.xxx.xxx. The WEP key I entered in is the proper one, so it's a little confusing as to why it won't connect. Does anyone know why?
Thanks in advance.

I've heard that Ubuntu and other Linux distros have problems with acquiring good drivers for use with wireless routers, but that may have changed recently, so I don't know.

I dunno about ubuntu and its drivers nor do I know about wireless support :v (I run Xubuntu on my home server PC I have here.)
My instinct (which is usually wrong...) would be to open the terminal and type "ifconfig" and see if you're connected. Or open the browser (probably easier  ) and see if you are connected....
(I'm leaving the above statement there in case anyone wants has a "no connectivity" problem with ubuntu )
------------------------------
Sorry, I can' think right now... :v Question:
What kind of router do you have?
