fretmelter Posted July 3, 2008 Share Posted July 3, 2008 hello, i just downloaded ubuntu version 8.04 i think it is, its the newest one anyway. I was wonering why the wirless internet wont work. its on a dell laptop which is incredibly slow, it has a gig of ram p4 3.6 ghz and a radeon 9600go like the portable version of the card. I have tried the ubuntu site and the trouble shooter. But it says that if your device is found then go to basic procedure and if it is not there is a lengthyer process. But mine was found and i set it to raomming and it never finds my wirless dsl router. So then i try to enter the stuff manually witht the wep key and the ESSID name and still no luck. can anyone help with this problem and maby a tip on how to make the laptop run a bit quicker. thnx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sparda Posted July 3, 2008 Share Posted July 3, 2008 Also regarding wireless networks, don't use WEP, WPA is what needs to be used. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
