wireless

I am having a bit of trouble understanding your question. You are trying to configure a D-link wireless router?

Hi,

Please first connect your network card to the wireless router using an ethernet cable (also known as a LAN cable).

In order to gather essential troubleshooting information about your wireless card, please follow this procedure:

Step 1: Open Terminal from "Applications->Accessories->Terminal"

Step 2: Run the following command. The command STARTS with the word sudo and ENDS with the word restart. So please copy-paste the ENTIRE command below into a Terminal, press enter, then enter password when sudo asks for password, then press enter again.

sudo lshw -C network; sudo iwlist scanning; cat /etc/network/interfaces; cat /etc/lsb-release; lspci -nn; lsusb; uname -a; dmesg | grep ound; dmesg | grep b43; dmesg | grep iwl; iwconfig; sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart

Step 3: Please post results (copy/paste terminal output) on this thread

Step 4: Please also specify the exact model and make of your PC (if known) on this thread

Regards,

Mark

thanks for the response...here is more info

the router is connected to computer 1 with the Internet cable.
Im trying to get Internet on computer 2 that does not have a built in wireless like a laptop. On another desktop all i had to do was load the software that came with the router and attach the USB thing that received the wireless signal.
When windows crashed on computer 2 I loaded ubuntu. then i loaded the software which shows up but dosnt run

Mark---i cant cut and paste...i cant get email on computer 2...i will try to do it by hand

thanks

Is it possible to connect computer 2 directly to the router using an ethernet cable? Can you give computer 2 an internet connection that way?

Or does computer 2 have no wired nor wireless cards in it?

If you do not have an ethernet card in computer 2 and no ethernet cables, you should buy both an ethernet card and an ethernet cable to at least get the wired connection to the internet working.

No i would have to run the cable under carpeting thru hallway and under a room...not worth it..i rather buy another cheap $200 computer with the windows it comes with

i just trying to figure how to either get Dlinks software to run on computer 2 or some other wireless way to get internet

Thanks

Then I suggest buying a wireless card (to put into computer 2) from the URL below, where the rating is 5.0

Anything lower than a 5.0 rating is not acceptable.
