| title: | maemo users Wifi network problem is this a |
|
Hi all -
Being lucky enough to have got my hands on a 770, I couldnt wait to
try out the free wifi at my gym. I know Ive got wifi on a 2MB
connection at home, but theres nothing quite like burning up someone
elses bandwidth, is there? ;-)
So, I ask at the reception and they tell me that theres no
documentation and no setup instructions. It "just works", they say.
What does that tell me? DHCPs /got/ to be in place. Searching for a
WiFi network, I see the only available open AP with the same name as
the gym - thats got to be the right one. I select it and the globe
icon gets a "W" pretty much instantly.
Then it all stops working. Net - doesnt work. Ping - doesnt work.
Herere the network details I got from the connection manager:
ip: 192.168.46.2
nm: 255.255.255.0
rtr: 255.255.255.127
... and I cant even ping the router address. I get an "invalid
address" error back.
Any thoughts? I have a very vague memory that makes me think I might
have hit a Linux Vs Windows corner case where Linux obeys the RFCs but
Windows doesnt, and hence Linux will never be able to use this
network, but I cant find anything relating to this online.
Any help would be appreciated!
Cheers,
Jaycee
