Question Cannot access external pages


I can't access pages outside my network from my SuSE 9.1 laptop; and I used to be able to access my router configuration page, but now my router is refusing me. I've tried stopping the firewall, to no avail; I've tried using raw IP addresses to access external pages (to avoid engaging DNS), too. How can I fix this?

UPDATE: It turns out that I can access a webpage from my server, however, so the internal access is fine. However, external access is still unavailable.

UPDATE AGAIN: Also, when I use an Ethernet cable, access to external pages works fine. The main problem is external access using my Centrino wireless card. The card is initialized and works fine for internal access.

Are you getting an IP from DHCP or it it set some other way? If you can access everything fine from other computers on the network but not the suse laptop. Not sure if the path is the same in suse but what info have you got in /etc/conf.d/net?

Yeah, I'm gettting an IP from DHCP. I tried using a static IP, but it made no difference. I can access everything from everywhere else on the network. Also, /etc/conf.d doesn't exist.
