Please read the RFC to better understand the process. Your next step is to troubleshoot why your interface isn't able to contact a DHCP server.Have you tried resetting the MiFi?
Only if a Winbloz system isn't connected. Every 10 minutes if no one else is connected, so yes sometimes.
Otherwise, I suggest statically assigning the IP 192.168.1.11 to your wireless interface, then browsing to 192.168.1.1 and checking the configuration of the router.
Tried that and a bunch more and I have only been connected twice. 30-40% of the time wicd or network manager locks up the system.
After setting a static address (and without configuration changes), you may be able to connect to the internet by adding a default route through 192.168.1.1 (using the command I suggested I my previous message).
Tried that but didn't get connected. Can't connect to the net even when wicd gets a connection and puts the default gw to 192.168.1.1, which it doesn't do very often. Nothing seems to be repeatable except not being
able to connect to the net. ;-( Thanks again Wayne
