instant thing if you can actually find a local source with the survey
tool.

We can start by finding out how you're actually going about connecting
in the first place. I seem to have no problem when clicking "Join" next
to the details of a specific access point under Status > Wireless >
Survey pop-up window. It will turn the Wireless > Basic Settings tab
"Wireless Mode" drop down box to "Client", and you should be able to
plug your wired network interface card into the router to access the
network. You can alternatively do this all manually under that same
Wireless tab if you like. If that's not working, more troubleshooting
questions may need to be asked. Such as what your firmware version
number is, what other settings are in place in Setup > Basic Setup
(specifically the DHCP settings), etc.

I'm using the micro version of dd-wrt v.23 sp final. In the connection
status tab in the control panel I see everything has been assigned
something. The DCHP server is 192.168.1.1. The remote connection has
even gave me a 24 hr lease. It's boggling my mind how I could get all
this info wirelessly but can't connect.

Also, do wifi sniffing programs like netstumbler work with dd-wrt
routers by themselves or are they only capable of working with
wireless adapters only?
