Know what ya mean. And I forgot to mention somewhere between beginner and
intermediate re wireless

do you know the ip addy of "mygateway1.ar7? From the non working system
can you successfully ping 10.1.1.3 from the working system?

On the system that is *not* working, open a terminal and run the command

|sudo route add default gw mygateway1.ar7
|
|if it doesn't error with "unknown" host, then try:

ping www.google.com

you may have to restart the wireless connection.

Left click network manager (the icon in the panel, upper right) and
click on your network should restart. Type route "to be sure the change
from above is still there."

What appears to be is that the new system is not getting the same
gateway as the working system. Though I do not know the ip address of
the working system both seem to be on the 10.*.*.* network and /should/
see each other. If the two systems can "ping" each other as is, then
your network is fine and the new system is connecting as it should. The
fault would then lie in the routing of the gateway. Try the above and
let me know. We will get you fixed. Sorry for the delay in response.

I'll give that a go as soon as Vista finishes updating on the other system.
btw, this one's ip on my network is 10.1.1.2
No worries re the delay. Gmail is giving me probs with sending periodically so
it may take a lil sometimes my end as well.

Well. Vista has updated and I've rebooted into ubuntu. Tried adding
mygateway1.ar7 as outined above and got the unknown host response sadly. The
10.1.1.1 is obviously the addy for my router (D-Link DSL-G604T). I can't ping
it from any of my other systems nor can it ping the others or access the
router webpage

I agree with you in seeing the gateway not being setup the same for some
reason tho I know not why. Can I blame my cat that loves sitting on my kbd?
LOL
