Ubuntu 10.04 system not getting ip-address

Hi

My HP system suddenly stopped taking ip-address for wifi. I tried to give it static ip-address, it took it. But still I am unable to connect to internet. I tried this both with wicd and network manager.

My system is perfectly working on wired network. Anybody knows what can be the problem?

Thanks

Hi ¿can you post a ping of 192.168.1.1? In case you havent assigned that IP, ping the one that you assigned.

Also run:

Code:
cat /etc/resolv.conf
and post the results, I think I have the solution to your problem but I'm not sure yet.

Hi Nicolas

I have assigned ip 192.168.1.219. I have used network manager to do this. Following are the result:

PING 192.168.1.219 (192.168.1.219) 56(84) bytes of data.
64 bytes from 192.168.1.219: icmp_seq=1 ttl=64 time=0.052 ms

64 bytes from 192.168.1.219: icmp_seq=5 ttl=64 time=0.047 ms

cat /etc/resolv.conf

Hmm, I don't see anything wrong with that. What happens if you ping Google or any other site?

Code:
ping -c 5 google.com

You are pinging yourself (192.168.1.219)
You need to ping the default GW (the IP from the wireless access point/router)
If you set a static IP, you also need to add the default GW and the DNS.

For the DHCP, are you sure the wireless access point/router is set to give out ip addresses?


Kind regards

Hi


following are the output of the commands suggested:

ping -c 5 google.com
ping: unknown host google.com

ping 192.168.1.1(default gateway)
PING 192.168.1.1 (192.168.1.1) 56(84) bytes of data.
From 192.168.1.219 icmp_seq=1 Destination Host Unreachable
From 192.168.1.219 icmp_seq=2 Destination Host Unreachable
From 192.168.1.219 icmp_seq=3 Destination Host Unreachable
From 192.168.1.219 icmp_seq=4 Destination Host Unreachable


I had set my default gateway and DNS, also internet is working fine in windows Vista of my system. So I think its not the problem from router sides.

Thanks

HI

One thing I noticed when I am connected to wired network and I ping my default gateway(192.168.1.1). It gave following strange output:


ping 192.168.1.1
PING 192.168.1.1 (192.168.1.1) 56(84) bytes of data.
From 169.254.11.1 icmp_seq=1 Destination Host Unreachable

Did the wireless work before?
Did you make any changes, updates, upgrades?
Please post the output from
Code:
ifconfig
rout -n
When you are connected via wireless
Code:
ifconfig
iwconfig
route -n
When you are connected via wired network.

Hi

I did not upgraded, but one day DHCP server of our institute was shutdown. After that my linux system stopped getting ip-address.

Following are the details as you asked in the last mail, one thing to note here is my system will have different ip when it is connected to wired(192.168.1.220 because of our institute policy).

Since you don't have access to the router/DHCP server,
I would suggest to talk to the IT people.
Perhaps they made some changes.
Adding a fixed IP yourself can give problems.
IP all ready in use, IP not in the pool from DNS server, IP is related to your MAC address,
firewall.....

Kind regards

To get a clear shot, we might need some comparison; could you put in here your vista's network setting from its cmd ipconfig /all output when it's connected via cable and wireless?

So it's the same NIC, same IP, different OS.
Sorry, but I don't understand, how could that be possible?

They should be able to see if you are trying to obtain an IP via DHCP
Do you have dhcp client installed?
try
Code:
sudo dhclient -r
sudo dhclient
You should be able to see if it connects in /var/log/messages
Code:
Apr 14 16:56:54 cannabis dhclient: DHCPDISCOVER on wlan0 to 255.255.255.255 port 67 interval 6

Hi

One thing which I should mention is when I ping to my own system(192.168.1.219), it gives one of the two outputs. It give 1st output for sometime(nearly 30 sec to 2 minute) and then starts giving the other after sometime.

ping 192.168.1.219
PING 192.168.1.219 (192.168.1.219) 56(84) bytes of data.
64 bytes from 192.168.1.219: icmp_seq=1 ttl=64 time=0.052 ms
64 bytes from 192.168.1.219: icmp_seq=2 ttl=64 time=0.040 ms

or

ping 192.168.1.219
connect: Network is unreachable


Following is the output of the other command asked:
