Since installing OS2008 on my N800, I am having trouble using Wifi. I created a connection using Connection manager (Tools | Connectivity settings | Connections). My N800 used to connect automatically whenever I turned it on. Now it does not, and my WAP does not even appear under Select connection. I tried power-cycling the WAP. I tried deleting the connection. Either way, my network does not appear under Select connection -- at this moment. The connection worked fine yesterday and the day before. Once today it did appear and I was able to make a connection, but I still could not use it. I got "network not reachable" when I tried to ping and under ifconfig I saw only lo. Right now I am able to connect to a neighbor's WAP and access the Internet (and I still see only lo under ifconfig), but I do not see my own WAP. When I was at CES I was able to connect to many WAPs, but I was never able to access the Internet (server not found, which means that I was not getting DNS). Any idea what is going on? I guess the first mystery to solve is why I don't see my own WAP under Select connections (usually). -- Jeffrey Barish
