accessing internet using the "recovery mode with networking"...not working

[shasa089]

hey guys,

I am trying to access the internet using the "recovery mode with networking" since I have no access to GUI .... but have failed miserably.i am hoping someone can help this noob here!

I have tried the following:

--Ran the ifconfig cmd and i can see etho,wlan0,lo eth1 with bunch of parameters associated with each interface.

--tried to edit the /etc/network/interfaces file (using vi) and now I have the following entries in this file:

auto lo etho
iface lo inet loopback
auto wlan0 net dhcp
wpa-ssid <my_ssid_here>
wpa-psk <my_key_here>

Then

sudo ifconfig wlan0 down
sudo ifup wlan0

But this did not work either.I am still not getting any IP from the DHCP server.
Keep getting this message :

DHCPDISCOVER on wlan0 to 255.255.2555.255 port 67 interval 5
DHSCPDISCOVER on eth0 to 255.255.2555.255 port 67 interval 7
DHCPDISCOVER on wlan0 to 255.255.2555.255 port 67 interval 9
DHCPDISCOVER on eth0 to 255.255.2555.255 port 67 interval 12
.
.
.
NO DHCPOFFERS received
NO working leases in persisten database-sleeping


I am using a wi-fi connection.

What am I doing wrong here..or missing here? need some serious guidance here!
its been few days now since I am trying to get this thing running!

HELP!

If you haven't already found it, check through Detonates Howto: Ethernet connection without a GUI

Actually i did follow that page too...but could not get the internet working through the recovery mode.

anyways....i have re-installed kubuntu so i guess this post can be closed.
