Hi,
I am on Telecom using their supplied Thomson router. It works generally fine with my XP laptop and mostly my partner's Vista laptop is OK with it too (the mostly is that he's on and then it disconnects and then we have to reboot the modem- I put this down to vista problems)
But now Iwant to connect my little EEEPC netbook its a 4 G running linux - so in verbose mode I can at least see the problem.
It connects fine to the neighbours unsecured wireless
It connects to the thomson fine with a direct cable
But when I try to connect to the thomson I select WPA and enter the network key - I leave the "key index" blank and then get the following as it trys to connect
sending on socket/fallback
dhcpdiscover on arth0 to 255.255.255.255 port 67 interval 5
dhcpdiscover on arth0 to 255.255.255.255 port 67 interval 5
dhcpdiscover on arth0 to 255.255.255.255 port 67 interval 13
dhcpdiscover on arth0 to 255.255.255.255 port 67 interval 8
NO DHCPOFFERS received
I have also had no luck getting my skype phone to connect to the thomson - and I am starting to wonder if Telecom just doesn't support linux???
