know much about it because I haven't played with it, but it looks to me like
your firewall is configured in a way that interferes with your wireless network.
Take a look at the documentation for iptables, and see if there is anything that
offers that sort of error message. It may be as simple as allowing access from
that network.</SPAN></FONT></DIV>

recently installed Red Hat 9 on my laptop in an effort begin learning about
Linux. My installation went well but I'm having trouble config. my wireless
card to access my Local network.<BR><BR>I began by booting RH 9 which goes
directly into the GUI and the accessing the network configuration "wizard". I
entered "new" and "wireless connection". <BR><BR>Of the options for different
wireless cards I selected the one listed as "Lucent, orinoco, and Prism
II-based PCMCIA wireless (etho)" <BR><BR>(next screen) Mode, I chose the
default "mode". Now here's something interesting in the network name (SSID)
there is a "specified" network called "Michael" I know that this is a network
belonging to a neighbor (no WEP by the way) My network is called Steve (WEP).
So I changed the SSID to my network and entered my hexadecimal password where
it called for "Key). I notice that since I have specified "managed" in the
"mode" field the "Channel" field is shaded and indicates "1". My network is on
channel 10 according to my router? <BR><BR>I have dhcp set for automatic and
DNS as automatic. <BR><BR>Now that this is completed I am back to the original
network config screen and enter "activate". <BR><BR>A screen indicates that it
is activating the device eth0......... <BR><BR>I reveive the error message:
<BR><BR>Error for wireless request "Set Encode" (8B2A) <BR>SET failed on
device eth0...iptables: No chain/target/match by that name failed.
<BR>iptables: Bad rule (does a matching rule exist in that chain?) <BR><BR>I
did go back and tried changing "managed" to "specified" and changing the
channel to 10 but no luck. <BR><BR>I have also tried changing to "Ad-Hoc" with
no luck. <BR><BR>It appears that the card is functional and I'm just missing
some detail. I am totally new to Linux and would appreciated any
suggestions.<BR><BR>shauck<BR><BR></BLOCKQUOTE><?/bigger><?/fontfamily></BODY></HTML>
