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?

No idea what's it's ip is. All my working systems show that line. I woulda
thought it to be my router at 10.1.1.1 ?

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


It did error unfortunately so I thought I'd retry the command substituting
10.1.1.1 for the gateway. Now I can ping my others systems from it but I
can't ping it from them it seems. So that seems to be some headway at least.
Still can't access the net though

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.

Yes, the addy's on my network ar all 10.1.1.*

If the two systems can "ping" each other as is, then
your network is fine and the new system is connecting as it should.

Can only ping one way and only on the network now, i.e. from the non browsing
pc to the others. Can't ping the other way. I've rechecked with ifconfig and
my router and the pc's ip has changed to 10.1.1.2
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.

No worries re the delay. I have plenty of patience. I did send a reply earlier
but not sure if it went thru. One of the drawbacks with gmail is I don't see
my own posts if sent via smtp
