Hi friends, i get a wifi dhcp connection at home, but cannot resolve names. I can ping ip addresses around the world, but cannot ping hostnames, since they are not resolved. I configured with iwconfig, iwpriv as shown bellow. The first configuration i tried with network manager. No success, but many people report problems with it anyway. Take a look at my main steps to connection:
me% iwconfig ath0 essid <server name> key <numbers> me% iwpriv ath0 authmode 1 me% iwconfig ath0 ap <hardware address> me% dhclient ath0 There is already a pid file /var/run/dhclient.pid with pid 5104 killed old client process, removed PID file Internet Systems Consortium DHCP Client V3.0.4 Copyright 2004-2006 Internet Systems Consortium.
