i already assigned my ip and dns but still no connection... i tried other OS like linux mint and it has no problem connecting... it just cant connect... i can see the wifi network but cant connect... so close yet so far...

WICD does find networks out there, both hidden secure and free wifi, but for whatever reason, it can't obtain an IP address. I'm sure there is a little radio button somewhere that will make this all work,I'm only a beginner so if one of you guys could help me, I would greatly appreciate it...
