Brian As you suggested I remarked out everything in the interfaces which was not auto or iface.
I then did System Administration Network entered password clicked on wireless connection Properties unhighlghed enable roaming mode Selected my wireless network from the dropdown menu entered the network password Configured it as static with IP addreess, subnet mask and gateway address It connected. I rebooted. It would not connect until I did sudo ifdown ath0, sudo ifup ath0 This is the current interrace auto lo iface lo inet loopback iface eth0 inet static # address 192.168.10.104 # netmask 255.255.255.0 # gateway 192.168.10.1 auto eth1 iface eth1 inet dhcp auto eth2 iface eth2 inet dhcp iface ath0 inet static address 192.168.10.104 netmask 255.255.255.0 gateway 192.168.10.1 wireless-essid Teds ZyXEL wireless-key 1A2B3C4D5E # wireless-essid Teds ZyXEL # wireless-key 1A2B3C4D5E # address 192.168.10.104 # netmask 255.255.255.0 # gateway 192.168.10.1 auto wlan0 iface wlan0 inet dhcp auto ath0 I know I am doing something wrong I just do know understand what it might be.Thanks for your assistance.Ted ----- Original Message ----- From: "Brian Murray" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Friday, April 06, 2007 11:56 AM Subject: [Bug 95577] Re: Wireless Connection Problem Ath0 AMD64 Network manager, which provides the network connection icon in Feisty will not manage your network interface if you have it configured in '/etc/network/interfaces'. I recommend that you remove any lines starting with anything other than 'auto' and 'iface' from that file. Then use network-manager to setup your static IP address or WEP key. -- Wireless Connection Problem Ath0 AMD64 https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/95577 You received this bug notification because you are a direct subscriber of the bug. -- Wireless Connection Problem Ath0 AMD64 https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/95577 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
