What does it mean when i can get a connection to my wireless router (blitzz bwa711 .... not my choice...) but i cant view websites? I can use Kopete and Gaim just fine, but the web just doesnt want to work. All I can get to is google and sometimes sourceforge.
 
Ndiswrapper is installed fine, with the right driver for my card (linksys wmp11 v 2.7 - uses the lsipnds.inf driver that comes with it) and it's all set up to go.
 
could the problem be hardware related (if so, why do the other computers in my couse work fine? why does mine work fine when i boot into windows?) or the fact that i'm using a 2.6 kernel? Is there a certain way i'm supposed to set up my device that i haven't been doing?
 
Forgive me, I'm new to linux..
 
If you need me to i can tell you exactly what i do to turn on my connection, maybe there's something wrong there...
 
thanks in advance for any help...
