You dont say whether every instance of your trying is using the same update of Ubuntu - 10.10 but I'm guessing it may be. It may be worth a shot disabling the current network manager and trying wicd insead. I have just found it more accepting to various networks, connectors and routers. You dont have a lot to lose by trying. DaveG -- ubuntu-uk@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-uk https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UKTeam/
