can ping network computer, cannot ping google.com (help needed)
hi.
I have a NetGear MA521 wireless card with the XP RTL8180 driver found in the tutorial on this website. I used ndiswrapper to set it up, on Mandrake 10.1 I can ping my LAN fine, it looks like this:
[root@BEN ndiswrapper]# ping 192.168.1.47
PING 192.168.1.47 (192.168.1.47) 56(84) bytes of data.
64 bytes from 192.168.1.47: icmp_seq=1 ttl=64 time=0.150 ms
64 bytes from 192.168.1.47: icmp_seq=2 ttl=64 time=0.155 ms
64 bytes from 192.168.1.47: icmp_seq=3 ttl=64 time=0.149 ms
64 bytes from 192.168.1.47: icmp_seq=4 ttl=64 time=0.154 ms
64 bytes from 192.168.1.47: icmp_seq=5 ttl=64 time=0.146 ms
so that seems to work.
I however cannot ping google.com or visit anything outside my network. I get:
[root@BEN ndiswrapper]# ping google.com
PING google.com (216.239.39.99) 56(84) bytes of data.
From BIGMAC (192.168.1.47) icmp_seq=1 Destination Host Unreachable
From BIGMAC (192.168.1.47) icmp_seq=2 Destination Host Unreachable
From BIGMAC (192.168.1.47) icmp_seq=3 Destination Host Unreachable
so therefore I have an inside connection, but not an connection to the net. I don't see what the problem is. Then I do this command:
[root@BEN ndiswrapper]# dmesg | grep "wlan0"
wlan0: ndiswrapper ethernet device 00:09:5b:21:b3:0f using driver rtl8180.sys
wlan0: no IPv6 routers present
and it says I have the driver present using the, and the device is regularly there. my wlan0 connection is up and running however I have no web access. How can I get my web access running on my wireless card?
like, are you connecting through a windows box that has ICS or something?
do you have a cable modem? or DSL?
do an
/sbin/ifconfig
and post the output
we might have to go back and forth a bit, until we get the important info to each other .. that other machine.. the 192.168.1.47.. is that plugged into a router? it sounds like an address from a router.. that maybe is plugged into a cable modem..

lemme know that info and we can work from there.
ok, I'm connected through a DSL modem/wireless router.

ps aux | grep dhc ## if you use dhcp, may be using dhcpcd or dhclient
also post the contents of
/etc/resolv.conf ## this is where your nameservers would be listed
wait, i was posting stuff with the eth0 attached. does that matter?

[root@BEN ndiswrapper]# ping google.com
PING google.com (216.239.39.99) 56(84) bytes of data.

when you pinged www.google.com, the adress was resolved 216.239.39.99, that means your DNS is replying.
The problem is in the 192.168.1.47 gateway, it could be not configured.
