I am using a NETGEAR Router that allows for wireless and wired connections. I'm connected directly to the router. I am having a problem connecting to the Interent through DSL using the router. I figured I could just type 192.168.0.1 and configure it like you do in Windows.
Anyway I'm at a loss. Without the router I can connect successfully.
What am I missing please....

What wireless network adapter do you have in your Linux box and is it functioning correctly - can you ping your router? What distro and using and what steps have you already taken to set up your network connection to the router?

The Linux Fedora box is directly wired to the Netgear router. To setup the router I'm trying to login with the default admin & password. However when I type the IP 192.168.0.1 the browser just hangs and eventually times out. I can't even ping the IP address.

I've tried resetting and rebooting both the router and modem. But still nothing. I've already input the DNS addresses in the resolv.conf file.

I'm just stuck.

ifconfig -a tells me the ppp0 IP address is 192.168.1.1. When I saw that I thought okay it must be working. But I can't do an nslookup on www.yahoo.com, and I can't ping 192.168.0.1.

I keep thinking I need to tell the PC that there is now a gateway I have to go through...right?
If that's so where do I do that?

What is the model number of the router. Check the manual for the default IP address because it could be 192.168.1.1 instead 192.168.0.1

What linux distribution / version are you running. You do not need pppoe to connect to the router. The simplest method would be to depending on the distribution would be to use the network wizard to configure a DHCP network connection and set the gateway to 192.168.1.1 (router's default IP address). Then you should be able to use a web browser to connect to the router and configure the wlan interface for pppoe.

Assumptions are that the network card module is configured correctly.

NEtGEar Model: MR814

Here's something interesting. If I connect directly to DSL everything is fine, I get the correct IP address ing and all is cool.

But when I connect through the router I get a very strange IP address. 10.112.112.112. Why would this be? If the routers default ranges are 192.168.0.1, 192.168.0.2...etc And my ISP IP ranges are always 69.226.x.x . Where would 10.112.112.112 come from. I even removed the router and hooked up a dumb hub and I still got the same result.
And obviously I can't go anywhere.

Where would I go to configure my DHCP or Gateway settings.

Thnx for your help...

There are three versions of the Netgear MR814

Which one do you have ?

starting at the beginning.

1) your routers address is probably 192.168.1.1

2) 10.112.112.112 is a default address. *Note the mask is probably 255.255.255.255 which gives 1 host.

3) what machine did you run an ifconfig -a on that gave you a 192.168.1.1 address. My best guess is if it was your desktop then there is an ip conflict between the router and that machine. set all machines to dhcp turn them off.

4) Reset the router, start your computer/s.

5) Give the computers enough time to negotiate an address *shouldn't take long.

check what address is being given to your computer via DHCP. Then get back to us.

If anyone has any corrections to my comments feel free to correct me.

NetGEar MR814 v2

what BrianWGray said:

If your computers IP is 192.168.1.1 and your router is on 192.168.0.1 you are on different subnets. Change your desktop IP to 192.168.0.2 and then launch your browser to 192.168.0.1.

Given the default subnet, any change in the third octet would be a different subnet and require routing. Put everything on the same subnet.

btw when you plug your ethernet interface into the router you should be looking for ethX (where X is a number) not ppp0. ppp0 should be for using pppOe if I remember right.

I have v3 of the router and I can type either 192.168.0.1 to access the router or www.routerlogin.com and the password box etc pops up and I can log in.

You might have problems accessing it if you`ve either set-up a proxy in your browser or any ad blocking stuff. You can add 192.168.0.1 to the "no proxy for" box in firefox`s connection settings if you use that and that may help.

I have no issues with my router (I only wish I`d known you can get routers which let you put linux on them).

This guy has solved it...

I wouldn't say he solved it, he simply put his computer on the same subnet as the router... which has been suggested in this thread multiple times already.
