Greetings

I just bought a wireless adsl modem/router from d-link, which works properly with windows but not with linux.

I have a dual-boot machine with Windows XP and Suse 10.0 and I'm connecting via wireless on both OSes. As I said, I can use internet normally in windows but I cannot in Suse. In Suse, I can access the router configuration page, I can ping it as well as another computer which is also connected to the router.

I already tryed to configure both the router and suse for static ip adress, but without luck and I also tryed to connect with suse firewall disabled.

In conclusion, I can access local adresses (the other pc and the router) but I cannot connect to the internet.

Can someone please help me sort this out?

Many thanks

Hi chocobanana,

It seems to me that your network is set up properly, but you might not have the default gateway setup. I am not sure how to do it on suse graphically, but from the command line, type:

This should give output something like:

If you don't have the second line, then the command:

where xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx is the ip address of your router, you will set up the default gateway.

Hope this solves your problems.

Hi and thanks for your reply

I did what you showed and no luck. I also found how to do it graphically in yast and tryed it but without luck.

Do you have any more ideas?

Thank you

Hi,

Can you give us the output of 'route' and 'ifconfig' and 'cat /etc/resolv.conf'. Also, can you tell us the error message recieved when trying to access the net, e.g. in firefox.

Rhys

Hi

Thanks

Please help me!

You don't have any nameservers listed, and so firefox does not know where to look for websites. find out what your dns/nameserver is, and add it to /etc/resolv.conf in the format:
Good luck
Rhys

Everything else seems to be set up nicely, by the way.

Thank you very much

That worked perfectly!

Now I wonder why doesn't Suse did that automatically?...

Thanks again!
