Hi,
I'm having all sorts of problems connecting an access point to my computer, but here is one piece that I hope will get me going, if I can get it solved.
My computer has two network interfaces, eth0 and eth1. eth1 connects to the cable modem and thence the world, and works fine. eth0 is supposed to connect to the access point over a private network. Here is the output from
route with my IP address blotted out:
Code:
Kernel IP routing table
Destination Gateway Genmask Flags Metric Ref Use Iface
192.168.1.0 * 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 0 eth0
*********** * 255.255.254.0 U 1 0 0 eth1
link-local * 255.255.0.0 U 1000 0 0 eth1
default ************.cpe. 0.0.0.0 UG 0 0 0 eth1
I used my laptop to set the address of the access point to 192.168.1.20 - no problem there, the browser connected right to it. Then I plugged the access point into eth0, pointed the browser to 192.168.1.20, and nothing (timed out). Moreover, ifconfig shows no traffic at all on eth0 - no packets received or transmitted. So I'm guessing that despite the entry in the routing table, my browser is looking on eth1 and that is why it is not finding it.
I restarted networking, no change. I am using ubuntu 10.04.
Thanks.
