Thanks Alan - it's easier than reinstalling the whole laptop! I fiddled for all of 5 mins with IP setups but got impatient and just ripped out the network-manager thinking it'd make life easier in the long-term. The wretched access point was actually on the same subnet as my laptop - IP 192.168.1.xx cos I'd changed it previously so my attention must've lapsed elsewhere.
What you describe is what I used to do in the days when the network manager didn't have a mind of its own so I'm guessing I could've got it to work if I had just stuck with it instead of cursing the network manager ;) On the good side, a newly-flashed ProCurve is now doing what it ought to and I have a lovely fresh installation of Lucid on my laptop <grin> Paula > > It souds easy of course, but it took a l-o-o-o-n-g time for me to > figure it all out! > > -- > alan cocks > Ubuntu user >
