networking connecting troubles (wireless)

[Anonymous]

Hi,
 Ive been able to connect wirelessly at home. Also been able to use kismet at home and at work. However, cant connect to our work internet. When I clicked on info key, it had my ip address, subnet mask, default gateway and dns servers from my home connection. The work connection is set to automatically assign addresses.

 I have a lan defined, the kismet, and my home and work connections. I deleted the home connection, and the work one still showed my home connections. Now, I deleted both and redefined the work one, but I cant connect, gets network offline.
 
  So, something in gui isnt working properly apparently. Where are these settings stored? What would you recommend that I do at this point?

Thanks
Greg

Which ROM/version??

On the Sharp 3.x ROM, the WLAN configs are stored in /home/zaurus/Applications/Network/modules/WLAN*.conf files.  Each defined config is stored in its own file.

BTW, the other Network Setup applet config files are stored there as well (LAN*.conf, DIALUP*.conf & IRDA*.conf).

Running out of ideas.. Its strange, the green light flashes says initalizing then dies. I have deleted and recreated thru wizard and through the add.

The files you mention look good, comaring them to a backup I had from several days ago. Uses dhcp which is y, and correct essid , device=eth
etc.

Also there is /etc/resolv.conf which points to my HOME network dns, which is interesting, as it seems cached in that file and the /etc/resolv.conf.sv which has not changed, despite new dns which gets assigned. Earlier at work, it kept the home info, connected to ap, but couldnt surf as the ip and dns were wrong, now I cant even get a connection. It will prove interesting to see if I can connect at home later when I reinstate the other connection?

The ap also shows up when its trying to connect as 44:44:44:44:44 which is also wrong, no wep, no mac filtering, none of the obvious stuff. Earlier today even though I had that bogus ip info, I was able to run kismet, here. Cant do that now either . Go figure??

Thanks

44:44:44:44:44 is the string that is shown when there is no IPaddr available.  Does your AP at work perhaps use Mac address control??  If so, your SysAdmin will have to add the Mac address of your WiFi card to the AP config before it will even associate with your card.

nope, this ap is external to our network so we dont use mac or wep, just an outside ap (for testing). Interesting, when I configured another connection without specifing the essid, it worked and  connected to our network. Go figure. the essid I put in is correct too.. Thats weird.

 And the final kicker. Despite connecting successfully at work, my resolv.conf (and I use dhcp and dns) here, is still pointing to my dns servers from my home network... ?

Are you looking at resolv.conf while successfully connected to your network at work?? I just examined the behavior on my Z: while actively connected to my network at work, it has the proper entries in resolv.conf for that network.  However, as soon as I disconnect, it reverts back to the entries I have at home.  I suspect that since I set up the home network first, that one becomes a sort of default.
