Hi, I wonder if anybody could help. I am trying to connect to the web
using my flatmate's wireless connection, and even though I can connect
to the router itself (I get the IP address OK), no packages are sent or
received (cannot connect to the web).

I have tried other unsecure wireless networks and can connect without a
problem.

Tried changing the settings of the connection to my flatmate's router,
he made the network unsecured, switched off the firewall, but still it
does not work.

Anybody can help?


Do share your connection setup details .
How did you confirm that packets are not going to and fro ?
Did you try any kind of packet analyser ?
Can you get some information from that log that you have captured ?
