Can't connect to wi-fi hotspot in Ubuntu 11.10












0














I'm new to Ubuntu. I'm having a wireless network problem in Ubuntu 11.10. I made a hotspot using Connectify from a computer which is running Windows 7. I can access it in Windows 7 but not in Ubuntu 11.10. Every time I access it,I get a message "disconnected".
I'm using msi fx 400 notebook with Intel Centrino wireless -N 1000 wireless card. Ubuntu version is 11.10 with KDE desktop.

          It is normally a firewall issue, I am pretty certain of that. It's the same case if you try to connect with an apple device. Turning off the firewall on the machine running connectify solved the issue for my mac and my ubuntu laptop.
