Hardware -> ipw2200 giving me connection refused, usb wifi works fine?

Hi

Im having a funny problem with the network at work, connecting with the ipw2200 module and card doesnt seem to work.
netcfg says done, i can ping the ap and the dns server. Aswell as sniff the network. Her`s the kicker, wget tells me connection refused.
When i get something like that I automaticly tought i was a firewall or a wrong config on my part, but that cant be.
If i connect with a usb wifidongle, zd1211, give that the same device name as the ipw2200 have when thats loaded everything works great. Note that this only happens at work with the ipw2200 wifi card. How can this be? I find this very strange.
Thanks for any help, chers

At work ping gives me 100% loss, regardless of which device I use to connect with.
Thats why i started using wget for testing of the connection

are you using dhcp or setting the IP address yourself?

if your using dhcp try type route and see if it hangs for a while (problems finding the gateway)

if not try using dhcp and see if that works it will add the default gateway for you.

I dropped by the Administrator at work and we discovered the firewall was autoblocking me. Time to noe play arround with nmap i suppose. Tihi.
