wireless card connected, but no internet
Running a toshiba laptop w/ intel wireless 2100 card
Slack 10.2 2.6.15.3 kernel I have installed the latest 2100 drivers, and along with that their recomendations of the latest ieee80211, and firmware. All things have been installed with no errors. Originally when i would use kwifiManager, it would show me connected to my network ssid, with a full strength signal, but no ip address. looking through other threads is saw the recomendation to set the ip address myself to make sure it works, then worry about DHCP after. So i used the following to set my address. This is the same address my laptop has always used when XP boots. ifconfig eth1 192.168.2.170 This worked, and now my ip does show 192.168.2.170 But still no internet. When I run firefox or Konquer i basically get the server not found message. I have used the ping command, to ping my desktop PC, and wireless router, and get results back. I know it is probably a small setting I am forgeting.. any suggestions??? This is my ifconfig Code:
eth1 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:0C:F1:2F:74:4A Code:
eth1 IEEE 802.11b ESSID:"jnt.net" Nickname:"jnt-laptop" |
another little tidbit
if I enter Code:
http://192.168.2.1 |
check your default gateway
it should be your router ;) |
I set the default gateway myself in rc.inet1.conf
Here is is if it helps Code:
# /etc/rc.d/rc.inet1.conf |
"route -n"
"traceroute www.linuxquestions.org" give us the output of these 2 commands |
route -n
Code:
Kernel IP routing table Code:
unknown host www.linuxquestions.org |
i ran route -n again
this time I manually set my IP address again as 192.168.2.170 it added this line Code:
192.168.2.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 0 eth1 yet I have set it as 192.168.2.1 in rc.inet1.conf This must be the problem |
hi, i think i had the same problem until a few minutes ago. have you checked your name server yet?
i had to set it to the ip-address of my router and now i have an internet connection with linux as well as windows. |

there is a button "wireless connection" on the panel at the top of my desktop which opens a menu where i chose "configure network settings". i was asked for the root password and then there is a "network card configuration overview" where i chose my wireless card and "edit" and then there was a button "host name and name server".
since i'm total newbie to linux i don't know if it makes any difference that my distribution is suse10.0 and that i'm using gnome. but there's got to be someone on here who really knows what i was doing... |
vi /etc/resolv.conf
put a line: Quote:
u have no default gw! type that command: route add default gw <dsl_modem_ip> |
seems i solved it by adding
dhcpcd eth1 new into the script line of my config setup menu. I just have to hit activate everytime i log into kde and want wi-fi better then nothing for now. |
