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 <a href="http://yahoo.com" target="_blank">yahoo.com</a> 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!
