Hi All, I have been travelling this week and I have found Motels with Free WiFi for their patrons, and they supply a password. I have a WiFi connection at home for which I use a password, and it works. I can create a WiFi Hotspot with my Android phone and it has worked as well. Although the password is correct for the Motel networks I cannot login my SuSe 12.1 notebook. My Android phone can access the network with the password, so I thought it may be a protocol problem. I changed the password protocol in the notebook to WPA2 from WEP. Now I can't receive from my Android nor the Motel network, nor the Telstra Wifi hotspot (Sierra Wireless WiFi 4G 9720). My Android phone can see and connect to the Telstra Hotspot, and then I USB tether to my notebook, running OpenSuse 12.1 Initially I was using the Network Manager, but I couldn't change the protocol, so I switched to the ifup system, but then I screwed everything. What settings should I be looking for and what is an acceptable default for a Wireless connection? Should I select IPV6 or not? I have DHCP selected Many thanks Andrew Greig
