Subject: wireless network
Need some help,please.
I have a windows based wireless network and I am quite new to Ubuntu
\Linux environment.
I have a wired router serving a wireless router.
Wondows works fine - finds and connects to the wireless router and
connects to shares and Net.
Ubuntu does not- and I suspect it might be a DNS issue since the machine
'appears' to connect to the router, but ifconfig shows a bizarre
unidentifiable ip in an unknown 10.x.x.x network, when my networks are
all public with 192.168.x.x DHCP address.

Any ideas?

regards.
