And by the way, how can I use a DHCP client to connect to my router? Please answer, this is very problematic for me. ------=_Part_16259_3109377.1152889722810 Content-Type: text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Content-Disposition: inline Hello all,<br> <br> I have installed linux-wlan-ng on my computer, and after having tried to configure my network with iwconfig a lot of time, I looked at the README file, and I saw that I was trying in vain because it was impossible to configure the network directly with the wireless tools, so I followed the instructions in the README (for usb users as I have a dlink DWL-122) but I don't understand the F) instruction:<br> <br> ><span style="font-family: monospace;"> </span>F) Run 'ifconfig wlan0 <your IP address>'<br> <br> What is "<your IP address>", is it my router's IP adress? the IP I want to have in my network? probably, but my network is configured by DHCP, so this is the DHCP server which will decide of my IP.<br> And by the way, how can I use a DHCP client to connect to my router?<br> <br> Please answer, this is very problematic for me.<br> ------=_Part_16259_3109377.1152889722810-- --===============0510486139== Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Content-Disposition: inline _______________________________________________ Linux-wlan-user mailing list [email protected] http://lists.linux-wlan.com/mailman/listinfo/linux-wlan-user --===============0510486139==--
