PLEASE help me (pleading) Wireless connection problems

[Jay Ridgley]

Folks,

I truly thought that when I discovered that after the dhclient package was 
installed that everything was OK. However, I get some wierd symptoms when I try 
to connect to the net from my laptop...

Here is what is happening as long as I am within my on local network everything 
seems to be working. When I attempt to get to the internet (start Firefox I 
loose connectivity. Up until that time I can ping sites like yahoo.com just 
fine! My wired network still works!

The above ONLY happens on my NEW system, the old one works fine! I have run diff 
on /etc/dhcp3/dhclient.conf, /etc/dhcp3/dchpd.conf and /etc/network/interfaces. 
ALL three contain exactly what I would expect to be there. They are not exact 
copies with the exception of dhclient because of a change in Ethernet IDs (eth1 
became eth3 and eth2 became eth4).

It appears to have something to do with routing since ifconfig and iwconfig 
output changes after the connection is lost.

Can anyone point me in the proper direction as to where I might look? I have 
tried everything I can think of for several days and just can't seem to get it 
right!

THANKS
Jay
