Hi All!

If this question already has an answer in the forum I would appreciate the link since
I couldn't find any relevant information....

I have an FC3 box with a wireless USB connection (configured in the ifcfg-wlan0 file)
the problem arose when I tried to connect an ethernet line between the box and another
machine. now I've set up a ifcfg-eth0 file and the network script shows no errors when I run it,
only that I can connect to the box from the machine connected through the wire, but I cant access the internet from the FC3 box.

when the ethernet line is disconnected, I am able to access the internet through the wireless connection so it seems it is a priorities issue,

any thoughts would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks.

please post your ifconfig output and post your staitc routing table out also give the address of the machines on the lan and what they do

From what it sounds like, you need to setup a default route. To do this, do the following:

route add default gw x.x.x.x

x.x.x.x = gateway IP addres to the Internet

Hey,

Thanks for the quick responses,
setting the route table didnt work.

This is the ifconfig output:

and the route output:

192.168.0.0 * 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 0 eth0

169.254.0.0 * 255.255.0.0 U 0 0 0 wlan0

any ideas?

Please change the ip address of eth0 or wlan0 they are conflicting as they have the same ip address

Thanks again for the quick answer,
However, changing the IP for the wlan0 device yeilds no apparent change.

It seems I have to change the priorities of the devices, since although the route table holds a proper setting for the wlan0 device (with gw 192.168.0.1), when I ping the router (192.168.0.1) the ping is sent from the eth0 device, and I get a "destination host unreachable).

any other thoughts?

sorry for the bounce
I got the issue resolved, changing the direct line network to different ip's (192.168.1.x) solved it.
thanks to all helpers....
