Keeps forgetting default gateway

[ksugar]

Hi

Just wanted to introduce myself, and ask a question.  I'm pretty up to speed with hardware and with Windows, but LInux is new to me. I've just built a new ultra-cheap machine (Athlon 2800+) and installed Kubuntu on it.  Most things are going well but I've a problem with the wireless network.  When I reboot the computer, 50% or more of the time it "forgets" the IP address of the default gateway (my router) and I have to set it again using System Settings - a pain.

Any ideas what could be going on?

Thanks

Nick

Re: Keeps forgetting default gateway

Actually, this just got worse. Now not only does it forget the address of the default gateway, but even when I type it back in it still won't pick up an IP address or connect to the router. So basically it won't connect at all (which is why I'm having to type this on a Windows machine!)

Any ideas?
