can only see router config page

my wired connection is running fine but my wifi's giving me trouble. i just installed Suse 10 today.

the card is an intel pro wireless 8200gb. using the drivers that were built into suse.

anyway, I open firefox and no page will come up. i can only access my router at 192.168.2.1.

i was thinking firewall but i really have no idea.

any ideas, i'd appreciate anything?!

sounds like you've no default gateway, but your description is very vague about what you can and can't do. do you have a default gateway listed in your "route" output?

i don't know. where can i find these settings?

like i already said, your "route" output.

here is the output from sudo route:

Code:

kernel ip routing tanle
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

well there you go.. no gateway set there.... so the dhcp details you're providing are incorrect or they are not being applied correctly by the client.

thanks for putting me on the right track acid_kewpie

the solution was "dhcpd eth1" as dchp had evidently not been setting a default gateway properly, or perhaps dhcpd wasn't starting right - to be honest i don't give a damn either way now that it's over
