Yea, well Fedora is always screwing around with new things. It all depends on what you want. > My wireless and internet connection (5 computers including a net book and > laptop) was no problem at all. > The wireless side of thing in fact just connect with the password and router > ID. > A couple of dumb double checking questions. By password, do you mean a special password for the wireless connection/router? He says he has never used a password. Maybe someone else did when they installed for him. When 'Show password' is checked in NetworkManager a long alpha-numeric string shows up. What is this? By router ID, do you mean the router address? He has a name of a network that keeps showing up in NetworkManager. I assumed that was an alias for the router address. -- Regards Bill Fedora 11, Gnome 2.26.3 Evo.2.26.3, Emacs 23.1.1
