@Frankline - I tried your way and now the MAC address doesn't show @Mich - I've tried disabling the IPv6, didn't work. Also tried using the IP address, DNS, etc that the MacBook had picked, also didn't work It will be really cool if it worked (and I'm sure someone will benefit) but I want to get some shillings together and buy a router 2010/10/29 Gichingiri Kuria <gmail@gichingiri.com>
On a different internet connection, with similar Zuku wimax equipment on similar Ubuntu desktop but with router, I get this:
ifconfig eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:13:8f:0d:07:6c inet addr:192.168.1.6 Bcast:192.168.1.255 Mask:255.255.255.0 inet6 addr: fe80::213:8fff:fe0d:76c/64 Scope:Link

Ok so this is interesting - you only seem to have a Unicast IPv6 address. Which means something else might be wrong.
What is your netsat -rn (not sure what it should be on ubuntu) am looking to see if you have a default gateway for the IPv6 - maybe wananchi is doing something.
Try and disable the IPv6 (though i dont think this is a problem) to see if you will get an IPv4 address with the DHCP.
Is there an option for a static?
It would be nice if he can show us the same output when he's able to access the Internet (via the router). That way, we can see what IP he gets from the router. Oh, and a traceroute to some host when things are working - then we can see his exit IP from the router.
