My old router was a speedtouch 2110 with WEP, no problem
Now upgraded? to thompson and WPA. Cant get it to connect - tries DHCP discover numerous times then says connection Pending
I have tried Googling it, The answer is a bit above me. can anyone help. Is it the range of the IP on the thompson?
It does connect OK via ethernet. and finds the router and channel OK
PS I also have an Archos, no problem, XP laptop no problem

Here seems to be some fairly straight forward instructions that might help it connect:

EDIT: though as ever it's at your own risk
If it helped click the thumb
If it fixed it click 'This fixed my problem'

Silly really as the set up screen click down has WEP and WPA enabled and lets you type in the passcode oh well at home have to use Ethernet.
My own risk at root level on Linux is nill

Thanks adie - those instructions look spot on for any Debian based distro (such as Ubuntu )
I'm getting the Thompson router.
When I was a Wireless virgin, I opted to go for WEP - but I can now have the experience of WPA.
I do have another howto - but it's a bit generalised.

That seems to indicate that you've got spaces in your passphrase. In that case it would seems that you will have a problem...
Either do the simple mod to the config file as indicated here http://rejon.org/2008/04/eeepc-wpa-fix/ or even simpler , change your passphrase to not have any spaces. If you do that dont forget that you will need to put the new passpharase into the Archos and Xp systems.
