http://unix.stackexchange.com – I am running Ubuntu 11.04 on my laptop and I use a 3G USB modem for my Internet connection. I wanted to share this Internet connection with my girlfriend's laptop that is running Window XP. Basically, I created the the wireless connection on my laptop and now it just connects and disconnects all the time. Why is it doing this? I am connected to the Internet via the 3G USB modem while I am also trying to connect the wireless set up, could that be the reason? Is there anything I should do on the Windows computer during the wireless set up? (HowTos)

Hi. This is an old problem for me, but apparently insolveable. Thought I'd try again, maybe someone here can help.

I cannot use the wireless internet connection in my house. My computer sees the connection. It is ChinaNet-zbgJ. The password is xutuhamh

The router is brand new, installed yesterday. The internet provider upgraded me and made the connection a bit faster.

This question is not really related to Ubuntu directly as it's about networking and a little problem I'm having at the moment.

I use century link as provider. I can connect to ubuntu with out turning router on,, Why? I am concerned about privacy issues! Where or what am I connecting to? Using Dell laptop with wireless modem. Wireless connection not linked to modem because power to that modem in off. I live in apt complex where a linux connection registers as poor but does not indicate I am connected.

I saved my father's old laptop by installing Fedora off of a dvd included in Linux For Dummies. Everything is working okay, except for the internet connection. When I right-click on the Network Manager applet, it gives me a menu with only Enable Networking, Connection Information, which is faded and unusable, and About.

Hi all, i am trying to use my laptop (running Ubuntu) to take the connected wireless network to allow a separate computer (win7) to be wired to the Ethernet port and be connected to the Internet.

To reiterate,

I want to bridge my Ethernet and wireless connections so that a computer connected can use the Internet.

I just installed Ubuntu on my laptop yesterday and it connected to the wireless fine. Then I took it to school, put it on their wired connection, downloaded some stuff, and now the wireless doesn't work.

At first it would detect networks, but not connect. I restarted it and now it can connect, but it acts like it doesn't have internet in the browser. Wired connection still works fine on it.
