As it would happen, the computer I'm currently using to write this email (along with several others in our house) are successfully connected to the router, though none others are running Linux. I think I may have to try a different wireless adapter... thanks for the help anyways though -- Jack

Im not sure if there's a better way to test the connection on port 80, or even if this method will do that, but I tried: wget 192.168.2.1:80 which hung on "Connecting to 192.168.2.1:80..." So I don't think anything is getting through on port 80 either -- Jack -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to deb

Right. As suggested, I manually added my router to the ARP table. Pinging the gateway now results with: PING 192.168.2.1 (192.168.2.1) 56(84) bytes of data. --- 192.168.2.1 ping statistics --- 4 packets transmitted, 0 received, 100% packet loss, time 3009ms So perhaps the host in not unreachable
