My namesereves are correct, my default gw is 192.168.1.1,
I tried everything above but it just couldn't connect, when I try ifup eth1 it gives the error "... Starting DHCP Cleint Daemon on eth1 ...... no IP address yet... backgrounding."I am not sure what does ping mean but I guess the answer is no I can't ping the router wirelessly right now I couldn't even connect to 192.168.1.1 from the web browser.

-Try restarting your wireless access point and computer (if you do not know how to restart your network interfaces in Suse

-Try giving yourself a static IP i.e. Hopefully Suse has some sort of Gui where you can specify an IP address of something like 192.168.1.14, subnet 255.255.255.0 and gw 192.168.1.1

-Remeber that when you restart your computer, your wired connection will be turned on and for some reason I know that Suse has had problems when eth0 is up at the same time eth1 is up.

-Finally in YaST try installing ethereal - and in a shell run tethereal | grep DHCP. Ethereal is a packet capturing program and look for the DHCP sequence that should be taking place when running dhcpcd. The DHCP sequence works something like the following
Discover - Your computer asking for an IP
Offer - The AP offereing your computer and IP
Request- Your computer asking for that IP
Acknowledge - Your computer recieving that IP

You can tell a lot about why dhcpcd is not working, say if you only see DHCP discovers from tethereal and no offers, requests, and acks. This would mean for instance it is a problem with the AP. On the other hand if there are no Requests, but discovers and offers, this is a problem with dhcp on your computer. Also, you can look at the direction of the DHCP packets and see where they are going.

Ping sends a packet to a destiniation and acknowledges that the destination recieved that package in x amount of time. Try
ping google.com
ping 192.168.1.1
and check out the output, check out ICMP on wikipedia for more info.

DHCP is the thing that gets you an IP address without having to specify it. Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol

EDIT : I don't know how to delete replies(look to below reply sorry for this one)

Thanks a lot but it doesn't work again static IP, also ethereal command just prnt Capturing on eth0 and waits, I think we tried everytihng mayb problem is with the AP, we even connectd once =), by the way when I say ifdown eth0 and tell ifup eth0, I do a restart to interface eth0 don't I?

try
/etc/init.d/network restart
or
service network restart #this is what I use but may be fedora specific.


I said this because I believe when you restart the network it re-reads all the configuration files, not sure though

tethereal -i eth1 - to capture on wirelss interface


iwlist wlan0 scan - to see if you can find your AP

post the output of iwconfig

Well I tried restarting, then ethereal for eth1 and it gives this output
"Warning: Couldn't obtain netmask info( eth1: no IPv4 address assigned)
Capturing on eth1
0.000000 f80::213:ceff:fe0a:aea9 -> ff02::2 ICMPv6 Router solicitation
0.632054 0.0.0.0 -> 255.255.255.255 DHCP DHCP Discover - Transction ID 0xa519aa60
and waits a little bit and prints again
4.776602 0.0.0.0 -> 255.255.255.255 DHCP DHCP Discover - Transction ID 0xa519aa60
...
and it goes on like this and in the end I close it.

iwlist wlan0 scan Result is "wlan0 Interface doesn't support scanning." but when I try iwlist eth1 scan Result is

Are you using any encrypting such as WEP, WPA, or WPA2 on your router?

ifdown eth0
ifdown eth1
iwconfig eth1 key "wep key"
ifup eth1

You can connect to your routers web interface and check and if you are using an encryption key try turning it off and rebooting the router and see if you can connect. Then we can narrow it down if that is the case.

Other than that I don't really understand this line
0.000000 f80::213:ceff:fe0a:aea9 -> ff02::2 ICMPv6 Router solicitation
Why is it soliciting v6??? What is soliciting v6???? Hopefully this wont be an issue????

Also, the couldn't obtain netmask error from tethereal, I will look into this.

Can you test the Access Point with another wireless comp?


This is soooo odd since it was working before you rebooted your computer. What I am thinking is that either 1. It is a problem with your AP or 2. When you rebooted a setting was changed back, or something is not being loading anymore.
Are there any error messages in dmesg?

=) now I connected wireless, as you said I disable password, then it starts to get IP for eth1, then I close eth0 too I don't know if it would work when both interface enabled I didn't try yet, then I said ifconfig eth1 down, ifconfig eth1 up, ifup eth1 and it works if I just say ifdown eth1 then ifup eth1 it doesn't work it'is interesting, now I will try to connect with a passwords wish me luck, and "accessrichard" thanks a lot you configured congratulations.

I am just soooo glad that we came this far and at least you can have fun with wireless networking!!!!!!!!!! I was getting a little worried there.

Thanks a lot Richard you help so much, even more than I can ask for =)

apparently, suse does not seem to like both the wired and wireless interface enabled at the same time, i simply ifdown wire and ifup wireless and everything works smoothly.
