Right now, I just enter my network name, and set the security, but it doesn't connect. I tried to go to the properties, but a bug crashes it.... so, any suggestions? Do I need a driver? My wireless card is a belkin desktop PCI wireless internet card, by the way. -------------------- Q6600, 4GB g-skill, 8800GT, P5N-D motherboard My art

I'm not familar with your distro or belkin, but I had a similar problem with PCLOS 2007 using Linksys Wireless_G Access Point. I resolved it by changing the access point settings from WPA to WEP and also substituted hex for ascii in both the key & ssid fields. Hopefully this may may help.

Okay, the main problem is that the menu that sets the settings crashes every time I open it up... -------------------- Q6600, 4GB g-skill, 8800GT, P5N-D motherboard My art
