Adding a gateway
 

Hi

i m very new at all this but i have my D-link card up and recognized as ath0, haven t figured out dhcp yet but i can assign an ip + subnet mask manually but i m still getting a 0.0.0.0 for the gateway.
i can reach my wireless router , but not the internet.
how could i add a gateway of 192.168.2.1 to my ath0 wireless device?

thanks

hi there

if u using redhat/fedora then run

setup

go to network settings and specify ur gateway there

or u can edit ur
/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0 script to specify the gateway

i do not have the porper syntax for that now woth me

also check for firewall settings on ur DHCP server

can u ping that machine?

regards

Command line:
change the 0.0.0.0 to your router's IP address.

It s weird it s like when i do that route add command it gives the default gateway to a 2nd instance of my wireless card>?!?!? result is the same i can ping and access my router but no internet.

here s how i brought the card "up"

root@darkstar:~# ifconfig ath0 192.168.2.99 netmask 255.255.255.0
root@darkstar:~# route add default gw 192.168.2.1 ath0
root@darkstar:~# route -n

127.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 255.0.0.0 U 0 0 0 lo
0.0.0.0 192.168.2.1 0.0.0.0 UG 0 0 0 ath0

hey !!!
what about my suggestions
did u try that out
and what OS are u using??

regards

Cause the code was without ath0 behind it.
