I just got my n900. I'm using it without a SIM card or data plan. In order to get the app manager working, I need to get some sort of network connectivity, so I'm trying to get the WIFI working. I'm testing it with a wireless router at work, and I've set it up with the correct WEP password. I assume the little radio icon I see at the top of the screen indicates that I'm connected to the router and the signal strength is good. However, when I open the web browser I can't load any websites. The error message I see in the browser seems to indicate that I have no DNS. How can I diagnose this further? What I've tried so far: I tried to ping the router from the xterm, but apparently "ping" requires root privilages and according to the maemo wiki, I need to install something via the app manager before I can log in as root (with no WIFI I can't use the app manager). I tried "ifconfig" and "ipconfig", but neither seem to be installed. The router is fine. My coworker is using his iPhone to browse the web on the same router right now. I'm pretty sure the WEP password I entered was correct, but I'm not sure where to go to check for error messages. Right now, I'm not certain whether my n900 is defective or whether I've configured something wrong. Any suggestions?
