EEE - Belkin Wireless Router.

[Guest GlynF]

Hi All! Loving my new EEE PC 4M in Black! However I need some advice.

I have a Belkin Wireless G Router (F5D7320-4) connected to Virgin Media box for Cable Internet.

MY EEE is fine when the wireless is set without encryption. But when I set WEP encryption on with an appropriate 8 figure code, my EEE fails to connect. Here is the log:

Configuring interface ath0=lan1 (inet)

run-parts --verbose /etc/network/if-pre-up.d

Starting WEP wireless connection...

Error for wireless request "Set Encode" (8B2A) :

invalid argument "12341234".

ifconfig $IFACE up

dhclient3 -cf /etc/dhcp3/dhclient.$LOGICAL.conf -pf /var/run/dhclient.$IFACE.pid -lf /var/run/dhclient.$IFACE.leases $IFACE

Internet Systems Consortium DHCP Client V3.0.4

No DHCPOFFERS received.

No working leases in persistent database - sleeping.

run-parts --verbose /etc/network/if-up.d

I think the last 6 lines indicate the fault. I have tried Auto and Ad-Hoc mode settings on the EEEpc. I have reset my belkin router, turned off DHCP Clients.

Any advice?

Cheers and Thank You in advance. Glyn.
