Yes, I have tried all options and I am entering the correct passwords. Anyways, I shall wait for my meeting with that guy. I hope it works out. Since, the admin is also not very comfortable with Linux, is there anything that I need to tell him or anything that I should check in the configuration
I wouldn't really think that there is much in your config that could disable your ability to connect, with the exception of not using the right password/ connection type combination. I am dead sure, that the password is right, because everyone in the campus shares the same password. And just to check and recheck, I have made my friends enter the WEP passphrase. In windows, it used to connect in an Open mode, so I am using open. though I have tried with other modes too. Network was infrastructure type in windows so here it becomes Managed.
Can you tell me how can I increase the time limit of 45secs after which it times out saying DHCP server took longer than 45 secs. This I found out from tail -f /var/log/NetworkManager
I'm glad that your admin is willing to help you out and not simply blowing you off for using an advanced OS. :) Initially, I was blown off, and it took a great deal of persuasion and convincing to get him talk. I will let you know what is the outcome of our meeting on Friday Thanks for responding -- Puneit Singh 0091-9350832020
