<DIV>I have a Compaq Evo N800c laptop with Suse 10 loaded. I have
been able to get the WLAN W200 wireless card working and am at the Central
Library trying to make a connection. KwifiManager sees the network
and correctly identifies it. I am comparing using a Gateway laptop
with Windows XP that is successfully on the internet. The Access
point seems correct and the Local IP is correct but when I start a browser
the page cannot be found. On Kwifimanager I click Scan for Networks
and it says "The scan is complete, but no networks have been found.
</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Help, any ideas? I am so close to having this working but I am
dumbfounded by this.<BR clear=all><BR>-- <BR>Jim Asbille,
