Q. I need a networking guru!
My Windows 7 (64-bit) laptop will connect to the network but won't access the internet. Currently running a WDS on Linksys stock gateway and DD-WRT wireless client bridge. Gateway has a wireless MAC filter but the client bridge does not (this was working fine until 2 days ago).
All devices wired to the gateway are working right now. All devices wired to the wireless client bridge are working right now.
My laptop won't obtain the appropriate IP address automatically. I disabled IPv6, I checked IPv4 properties and it is set to obtain automatically. I released and renewed IP but no luck. Gone through command lines "netsh int ip reset reset.log", "netsh int ip delete arpcache", "netsh winsock reset", and finally "ipconfig /flushdns".... rebooted after each step... then did them all together and rebooted after that too. No luck.
I plugged in a second wireless adapter, Linksys WUSB600N, installed the right drivers and tried to connect, again no luck (Yes the MAC ID for the adapter was permitted on the network).
I've rebooted the modem, and the routers more than once. All other devices continue to work. I have not touched any QOS settings on any of the routers, although if this were working I might have later in the week.
My laptop is able to "tether" to a phone via wifi, using the built-in adapter. No fuss there.
I'm running out of ideas. Help?

How come i connect to wireless network but it says limited access?
Q. I keep losing my internet connection. I have a linksys wusb600n that is connected which has the win 7 drivers. It was connected to a linksys router now a trendnet router so I know it cant be the router. Anyone I'm able to connect just fine. The problem is as soon I try to download a large file or watch a couple of videos I lose Internet connection and get the yellow triangle that says I have limited access. It stills shows that I have a strong signal. In the adapter properties IPV4 says no internet access. I tried the troubleshoot and nothing. I tried the command prompt ipconfig release and it says that it cant do it while the media is disconnected. If I try to disable the network adapter it hangs and doesn't do anything. Same thing if I try to restart or shutdown. It just stays on the screen where its says it shutting down or restarting. I have to actually hold down the power button to turn it off. Once the computer is on I'm able to surf again until the limited access happens again. I have even checked the properties of the wireless adapter and disable any "let windows manage the power" settings. Please Help!!!! I JUST BOUGHT MY COMPUTER NOT SO LONG AGO!!!!!! > <
A. Open menus, network connections and make sure the connections are enabled. This should eliminate the limited access and make it permanent. I do not understand people who play around with commands. The risk of messing the computer up is simply too easy. The only other thing that may need to be done is to reinstall your network drivers. If they are messed up you won't get it to work.
What is the best way to upgrade the Linux Kernel?
Q. I was wondering what the most efficient way to upgrade the Linux kernel would be. I am currently using Linux Mint 9 which is a derivative of Ubuntu 10.04. Ubuntu 10.04 is using Kernel 2.32-xx and only seems to patch that Kernel when it comes down to upgrades. I have currently installed Kernel 2.34 via http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/ , and installed in the order:
linux-headers-2.6.34-020634_2.6.34-020634_all.deb
linux-headers-2.6.34-020634-generic_2.6.34-020634_XXX.deb [i386/amd64]
linux-image-2.6.34-020634-generic_2.6.34-020634_XXX.deb [i386/amd64]
It seems to have worked, though Ksplice uptrack doesn't like it, which is a total bummer. The New Kernel has some awesome upgrades to it (http://www.h-online.com/open/features/What-s-new-in-Linux-2-6-34-1000122.html ), in fact with every new patched kernel that I upgraded to I had to modprobe and echo my Linksys WUSB600N to get it to work again with the Linux Drivers, or if that didn't work I had to reinstall the driver so that it was installed under the new header.
This time when upgrading to the new kernel, I didn't even need to configure or install the driver again.
At any rate I was wondering what are the advantages to installing the Kernel form source as to the way that I went?
Thanks to any and all who answer.

A. A straightforward way to have Linux Mint 9 running off kernel 2.6.35 is by using the following method (based on my own configuration)
Open a Terminal and replace the Lucid repositories with Maverick repositories (Ubuntu 10.10 which is currently in development)
sudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list
The default repositories list should look something like this
deb http://packages.linuxmint.com/ isadora main upstream import
deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ lucid main restricted universe multiverse
deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ lucid-updates main restricted universe multiverse
deb http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ lucid-security main restricted universe multiverse
deb http://archive.canonical.com/ubuntu/ lucid partner
deb http://packages.medibuntu.org/ lucid free non-free
Edit the list to look like this
deb http://packages.linuxmint.com/ isadora main upstream import
deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ maverick main restricted universe multiverse
deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ maverick-updates main restricted universe multiverse
deb http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ maverick-security main restricted universe multiverse
deb http://archive.canonical.com/ubuntu/ maverick partner
deb http://packages.medibuntu.org/ lucid free non-free
Save and Close
sudo apt-get update
Close the Terminal
Open up the Package Manager (Synaptic) and install/upgrade to the following packages
linux-firmware
linux-generic
linux-headers-2.6.35-6
linux-headers-2.6.35-6-generic
linux-headers-generic
linux-image-2.6.35-6-generic
linux-image-generic
linux-libc-dev
Once installed/upgraded close the Package Manager and Reboot
After you have Rebooted you need to edit the sources list again to bring them back to Lucid
sudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list
deb http://packages.linuxmint.com/ isadora main upstream import
deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ lucid main restricted universe multiverse
deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ lucid-updates main restricted universe multiverse
deb http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ lucid-security main restricted universe multiverse
deb http://archive.canonical.com/ubuntu/ lucid partner
deb http://packages.medibuntu.org/ lucid free non-free
Save and Close
sudo apt-get update
Close the Terminal
Thats it kernel 2.6.35 is now successfully installed
Another worthwhile tweak if you have an Nvidia GeForce graphics card is to upgrade the driver to 256.35 (GeForce 6 and above)

A. Sounds like your wireless adapter is being turned off for some reason. Check the properties of the wireless adapter and disable any "let windows manage the power" settings, so windows does not turn off the wireless adapter when running on battery (assuming it's a laptop). if this is a desktop, still check the power schemes, to make sure Windows is not trying to turn off the adapter.
