Unable to connect to my home wireless
I am running an up to date Squeeze system using LXDE. I use wicd as my network manager. Since doing a full upgrade on Monday I have been unable to connect to my home wireless network. I can connect to various unsecured networks at work, at local restaurants and coffee shops. I just can't connect to my home network. Here, I have to connect a cat5 cable. Since the only place to do this is sitting directly in front of my desktop system it kind of defeats the purpose. I have verified that the WEP key is correct and I really don't know what else to look for.
When I try to connect, wicd says that it is 'Putting interface up...', 'Validating authentication...', 'Obtaining IP address...' then it times out and says 'Connection failed: Unable to Get IP Address.'
Does anyone have any idea what is wrong, or what config file, or error log I should look at to get more information?
