computers around me get internet, but i dont... wired lan
I am running fc3 with 2.6.9-1.667
My problem is, I get a funny connection Heres what works In windows, everything works fine in linux i can access the router fine and check the settings. There are 30 computers on the same network that work fine. azureus was able to start uploading to other clients, and download a little bit what didnt work the internet at all. i have bookmarked html books in firefox that are stored locally on my computer, but those links do not work at all. Ive tried konquerer as well, and pinging other comptuers but its a no go. Any help would be appreciated. I would really like to stop using windows now.

You said you can get to your router. That implies you have an IP address and sub-net mask set. You can not ping other hosts on your own lan? I would check two things, make sure your machine and the other hosts are on the same sub-net, and the mask on your machine matches the mask others are using.
To see your setup at a command prompt type - "/sbin/ifconfig" ( without quotes ). Here is what mine looks like. Code:
[cliff@sluggy cliff]$ /sbin/ifconfig To get the internet working, you need the correct gateway address configured, and you may need to find out what the DNS addresses are, and configure those. Get ping working first, then work on outside access. |
I have my ip info statically set. Its been the same for a few weeks.
And its worked great up untill this morning. This is my laptop. I took it home last night, but I dont have the internet at home. Yesterday it worked great. Its just today. I havent changed the settings on every thing. I tried to ping google.com, didnt try in the network. But will try that. Martin Seidl |
ok
Not really sure what the problem was, but when i switched to dhcp on my laptop it worked.
but the odd thing is the configuration worked for a long time before today. wiiiierd. martin Seidl thanks for your reply. oh yeah...how can i set up my lan trough the command line? |
Was your static IP address with a reserved range?
Its possible that a dhcp client was allocated the same ip address as your static one and caused your problem. As for Lan setup via command line type 'man ifconfig' (with out quotes) at the command line for instructions |
ok
yeah, the ip was at the end of the limited number of ip addresses.
everything is a statip ip set on the computers, but the router is still dhcp enabled, for when we allow other people to come. having my ip bumped wasnt an option, while nobody new accessed the network. (from what the logs showed) can ifconfig be used to config the wifi too with wep? |
