I did not try specifying the essid manually, given that it is the only essid in the vicinity and iwconfig shows that my machine has already associated with it. However, I've tried the dhcpcd wlan0 but it eventually times out. :( > Do you have Windows installed? Do you get an IP address on Windows? No I don't. This is a Gentoo-only laptop. But other WinXP machines appear to get an IP address and connect happily to the Internet at both hotels. What else should I try? Would perhaps dhcpcd -S be needed to get the router to assign an IP address? I do not have much experience with wirelless connections because up until now I've been lucky enough to always connect to public (and private) WiFi routers effortlessly. -- Regards, Mick
