If you know the ssid & wep key (if in use) then frun the ifconfig command like this: # ifconfig ndis0 inet 192.168.0.2 netmask 255.255.255.0 ssid your_ssid_here weptxkey XXX Just change the inet/netmask/ssid/weptxkey to the appropriate values for yourself. One last thing... if you run ifconfig ndis0 what results do you get? both before and after anyother ifconfig commands. -- Kind regards, Jayton Garnett email: jay@codegurus.org Main : www.uberhacker.co.uk Test server: jayton.plus.com
