I'm having a wireless network problem in Ubuntu 11.10 with KDE desktop. 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.

sudo lshw -c network

[sudo] password for ht3t: 
  -network

I can't do anything without internet connection. How can I fix this?

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.
