I am having the same probs with my Linksys 11b I can see and ping the
router but cannot access the web. I used Kwifimanager to get it up and
going. My access point as listed in the Kwifi* has no name assigned to
it. This seems to be the sticking point. Can't see anything wrong in
the actual wireless setup on the router either as my laptop which has
this 11b is fine in win32. <shrug> Will keep plugging away and let ya
know seen as no one else is contributing to this thread or the one I
started earlier.
