Then the settings set as follows: ----------------------------------------------------------------------- > Wireless tab SSID : As set up on your wireless router, (you should be able to change this) Mode : infrastructure BSSID : As set for your wireless router Restrict to interface : Any MTU : 1500 > Wireless security tab Security : Needs to match that configured for your wireless router Password : Needs to match that configured for your wireless router > IP Address tab Basic settings Method : Manual IP address : Your selected IP address, (check your wireless router will accept it) Subnet Mask : 255.255.255.0 usually Gateway : The IP address of the router connected to your ISP provider DNS Servers : IP addresses, (usually provided by your ISP provider) Search Domains : Usually provided by your ISP provider ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Unfortunately configuring your wireless router varies for different makes. Normally it can be done using a web interface. But usually they are default configured to DHCP which is certainly a simpler option if you have a simple network configuration. But as the settings above show, both the wireless router settings and network manager settings need to match up, and any slight mismatch could cause it to fail.
