networking problem

tradnbillies · 11-28-2005, 11:17 AM

My Linux box has recently lost it's network connection. THere was a new kernel installed, but even when I manually use the older ones, the network doesnt work. I have wlan0 set up get the network connection, and it says it gets the IP of 10.10.10.110, but I cannot ping any other computers on the network, nor can I ping the router. Does anyone have any thoughts as to why this might not work now?

Thanks,

Dave P

Does ifconfig show wlan0? If so what does it say about it?

hi,

try typing (as root) iptables -vL, which will list the firewalling rules on your machine (I'm making it short).
If you have another output than "Chain *** (policy ACCEPT...)", then when you upgraded, you had a nice present: a default firewall configuration.
In this case, iptables -F will flush (deconfigure) it... that's not secure at all, but it will give you back access to internet if that was the issue.

Can you ping your router IP (10.x.x.x) ?
Can you go to your router setup page?
Did you edit the resolv.conf file ?
