ok, im pretty sure its some kind of compatability issue with the router the router is a linksys wrt54g with wep128. i can connect to the router, but it keeps asking me for the password. however, a neighbor has a belkin54g, which I CAN connect to the internet, but its a super-weak/ unreliable signal. im currently googling issues between ubuntu and wrt54g, but am not having much luck finding anything relevant. comcast, top package
