Room A -- PC/WinXP --> wireless router --> DSL modem --> internet, works fine Room B -- PC/WinXP --> wireless adapter -- works fine Room C -- PC/Ubuntu 6.10 --> wireless adapter I've finally gotten my Ubuntu 6.10 system to recognize my Netgear wireless adapter (as wlan0) ... and I've configured it (properly, I think), DHCP, using my ISP domain (<a href="http://sbcglobal.net" target="_blank" onclick="return top.js.OpenExtLink(window,event,this)"> sbcglobal.net </a>) as the ESSID... and I think it "sees" the wireless router that's hanging off of my WinXP system in room A; under "Networks" an icon pops up that says "Windows Network." But what I still don't have is any connectivity to the outside world. I feel like I'm missing something, or haven't done something, but I don't know what. I've tried running pppoeconf, and it sees wlan0, but it keeps coming back saying something about unable to get the ISP to acknowledge the Access Concentrator. Also, in past years, when I've gotten pppoeconf to work over a hard NIC to the DSL modem, it prompted me for username and password information -- something which is not happening with pppoeconf now. Any suggestions? I'm getting frustrated and desperate enough to think about popping $250 for Ubuntu Canonical tech support.
