Connectivity issues

[crazy_v]

This is my first time using a Linux os, so I'm not sure if this is a simple problem but I've looked around and can't seem to find anything similar.

I have installed LM17 alongside windows on a HP PC and when I initially played around with the os using a live cd the internet connection was fine and speedy. (So I can assume it's not a hardware/driver issue?)

After installing, I can connect to my router but there is either no internet connection or it crawls at snail's pace before dying.

Any help would be much appreciated.

Also, rather typicaly, I have been having this issue for about 2 days but now that I finally ask someone about it, it seems to have magically resolved it self. At the time of posting I had this issue. Just booted into linux mint now and everything seems to be working fine. Any idea why/how this happened? The connection was working fine via windows the entire time.

Sorry if this has been a waste of time.

Hi,

seems to be connected but we need to identify your network card and the state of it, just to avoid too many questions we have a script that can give us all necessary info in one go.

Code: Select all

wget -N -t 5 -T 10 http://dl.dropbox.com/u/57264241/wireless_script && \chmod +x wireless_script && \./wireless_script

It will download a script and create a file named wireless-info.txt or wireless-info.tar.gz in your home folder with wireless information so we can see the condition of your wireless and errors at the time. The MAC address, WPA key and WEP key are removed for your security. Paste contents of the wireless-info.txt or wireless-info.tar.gz file at http://pastebin.ubuntu.com or alternatively http://pastebin.com/ then post the link here in your question.

Here you do http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/8318879/

Thanks for all the help, I'll start reading some guides so I can try solve these things myself

seems alright but I would set my channel to 3 on the router instead of automatic or 1 as it is now (another AP is on the same channel 1 in your range)
and set your country code it's 00 so not set.
