Slack 12.2 Connected to wireless network but not internet


Hello everyone!! its been a while... but.. here it goes..


OKay so i just did a fresh install of Slack 12.2 and everything seems to be going well. Then i tried to connect to the internet, and thus i can not.

SO the problem is this.. Wicd says i am connected and everything seems to check out.. even with a wired connection to my brothers mac, it says i am connected but i can't connect to the internet..

there is no way that it can be the modem, because i am on the mac right now and it is connected to it.... so.. im stuck... it says i am connected yet i can not access the internet..


any quick thoughts?


i have tried everything i can think of... so any ideas are appreciated.. i know its not much info.. but thats basically it.. its a fresh install and the only thing i have done is install Wicd which i got from the slackware site..


Thanks.

-Matt

You need a route and a nameserver

Check the output of the route command, must include a reachable default gateway (ie, your modem, router, etc.).

Also be sure there is a valid nameserver in /etc/resolv.conf

I'm afraid we'll need more informations to help you.

Please provide outputs of following commands, typed as root:
ifconfig -a
iwconfig
route #for this one, once wireless-ly connected
and the relevant to your modem part of the output of:
lspci -v

Hi,

If your device is recognized with the proper driver loaded then you can configure the network with 'netconfig' then manually edit as root the '/etc/rc.rc.inet1.conf' for the device if needed. You should also make sure that '/etc/resolv.conf' is setup with your 'DNS' if you are not using 'DHCP'.

I would suggest that you use the 'route -n' to get a better presentation of the kernel IP route table.

Code:
~#route
Kernel IP routing table
Destination     Gateway         Genmask         Flags Metric Ref    Use Iface
localnet        *               255.255.255.0   U     0      0        0 eth0
loopback        *               255.0.0.0       U     0      0        0 lo
default         zyxel.workgroup 0.0.0.0         UG    1      0        0 eth0

~# route -n
Kernel IP routing table
Destination     Gateway         Genmask         Flags Metric Ref    Use Iface
192.168.1.0     0.0.0.0         255.255.255.0   U     0      0        0 eth0
127.0.0.0       0.0.0.0         255.0.0.0       U     0      0        0 lo
0.0.0.0         192.168.1.1     0.0.0.0         UG    1      0        0 eth0
To me using the '-n' option provides more detail that is easier to understand.

If you manually edit '/etc/rc.d/rc.inet1.conf' then you can restart by using '/etc/rc.d/rc.inet1 restart' from the 'cli' as root.
