able to ping router but no internet

madhacker · 02-22-2006, 12:39 AM

Basically, my problem is that I have a wireless network configured and able to ping my router, but am not able to access webpages. I am running an orinoco wireless card with FC 4. My dhcp network has WEP configured. Could someone please tell me how to fix this? What should all the relevant conf files have in them? This network has worked in the past with this computer, but started acting like this when I reconfigured the connection after changing it.

Do you have the routers IP address set as your default gateway?

may be dns related problem. enter your isp dns ipaddress in the dns ipaddress properly. try to ping your isp dns ip address. if u get reply u can do internet...

You can ping your router, but can you ping linuxquestions.org? Can you ping 64.179.4.149? If yes on the former, it's most likely a problem with your browser. If the latter but not the former, it's a DNS issue. If neither, make sure your modem is getting sync to your ISP.

Please post the output of the route command.

Mine looks like this:

Code:

Kernel IP routing table
Destination     Gateway         Genmask         Flags Metric Ref    Use Iface
192.168.2.0     *               255.255.255.0   U     0      0        0 eth1
link-local      *               255.255.0.0     U     0      0        0 eth1
loopback        *               255.0.0.0       U     0      0        0 lo
default         192.168.2.1     0.0.0.0         UG    0      0        0 eth1

Against default is my routers IP address. Yours should be there for you to access the net through your router.
