Changed routers, Fedora 19 machine no longer connects

Entwicklung · 03-01-2014, 08:41 PM

Bought a new router, TP-Link TL-WR841N. Since the day I plugged it in, my Fedora machine will no longer connect to internet. Windows machine didn't have a problem with new router. I have reset the router, re-booted the router, changed the NIC in the Fedora machine. Network manager says that it is connected but no web page will open. The light on the router is on but it isn't blinking. I have no idea what to do. I never expected a problem like this from a Linux OS. I also have a PC-BSD machine and it is connecting to internet with new router. Any ideas? Let me know if you need more information.

Maybe you still have a lease on an IP the new router has assigned to another box - try

Code:

dhclient -r && hdclient

I got bash: hdclient: command not found... when I tried that

typo - dhclient

That didn't fix it. I've also restarted modem and router.

Does you Fedora PC have a static IP address?
What is the output of the command /sbin/ifconfig?
I believe the default IP address for the router is 192.168.1.1. So your subnet is 192.168.1.0/24 (net mask 255.255.255.0). Is the IP address for the Fedora PC in this range?
Can you ping the router? Can you ping the other computers on the network.
Can you access the router's web configuration page?

michaelk i believe is on the right track. when you brought in the new router did you modify your /etc/resolv.conf and did you change the static IP in your fedora box?

please post your eth0 for the fedora box as well as your resolv.conf

Fedora box has static IP of 192.168.1.3

It can ping the router and the other computer on the network

resolv.conf returns:
#Generated by NetworkManager
nameserver 192.168.1.1
nameserver 207.69.188.186
nameserver 207.69.188.187

I can access the router's web configuration page. It shows that the Fedora box connected as 192.168.1.3

Output of /sbin/config:

Can you ping 74.125.227.105 (google)?
Does http://74.125.227.105 work in your web browser?

Entwicklung · 03-04-2014, 10:10 PM

I can ping it but it will not open in web browser
