linux mint 7

[pcclan]

how do you assign IP to Linux mint i don't know how to assign one i need to know cause my wireless router won't give my one any ideas on how to do it

Are you sure it's connected to the router?

if so,
run

ifconfig

to get the name of your card (wlan0, ath0, or something like that)

then (assuming card name is wlan0) either:
to manually pull a dhcp address:

dhclient wlan0

or, to manually set one:

ifconfig wlan0 192.168.2.3

replacing 192.168.2.3 with whatever IP you want

Yoy can use gnome network manager or WICD to manage your wifi networks. Also you can edit /etc/networks/interfaces.

Also check router config, maybe DHCP is disabled.
