   Hello all,   
      
   I could do with a little help/advice on a specific issue regarding   
   connecting my laptop to my work network (full access rights - no firewall   
   IP blocks)   
      
   Laptop: Toshiba Qosmio F20-153   
   OS: Ubuntu Edgy   
   Router: Lynksys (DHCP Enabled)   
   Wireless AP: Belkin 54g   
   Firewall: None - switched off to confirm it wasn't effecting the issue.   
   Problem: No HTTP internet connection (I can infrequently send/receive NNTP   
   and FTP, but this is hit and miss)   
      
   My home network is similar but uses Belkin Router/AP and works without any   
   incident.   
      
   OK. I've done as much trouble shooting as my limited knowledge of Ubuntu   
   allows and the one difference I can see between the above problem and my   
   trouble free connection at the same location in WinXP is the "broadcast IP"   
   setting of 192.168.1.255.   
      
   Question 1: Could this IP broadcast be sending the router or AP off the   
   boil?   
   and consequently   
   Question 2: Which Config file would I need to edit to change the setting and   
   any suggestions on settings to use in the IP range specified?   
      
   By the way, the routing table at /sbin/route looks fine. Google has also   
   been rather unfriendly.   
      
   Thanks for your assistance.
