Cannot connect through wireless-ethernet bridge Belkin F5D7330
I am still a newbie in configuring (and understanding) network interfaces.
Here is my network:
internet <=====> modem <=====> router(wrt54g) <-----------> wireless-ethernet bridge (belkin f5d7330) <=======> PC (gentoo)
The local ip of the router is 192.168.1.1. I am using dhcp.
The bridge is configured as follows:
Quote:
Version Information
Firmware Version F5D7330_2.0.0.2
Boot Code Version v1.03.12.bk
Hardware Version F5D7330
LAN Settings
Ethernet MAC 00-17-3f-25-dc-ae
Adapter Name luke
IP Configuration DHCP
IP Address 192.168.1.101
Subnet Mask 255.255.255.0
Gateway Address 192.168.1.1
Log in to your Linksys router and go to the "Status" page and make sure you are getting IP assignment from you ISP. If this checks good, then go back to "Basic Setup" tab and then "Advanced Routing" sub tab. Switch the operating mode, save settings, then try ping 4.2.2.2 again.

The router is set to gateway mode, and I believe its settings are fine.
I am using a laptop with a wireless card connected to the network to write this post and everything works well.
I finally got it working. I still don't understand why dhcpcd couldn't handle all this for me.
Thank you very much for your precious help.
Might want to check the DHCP server settings on the Basic Settings page of your Linksys router and add your DNS servers there. This should pass the DNS server address to your system, but doesn't really matter at this point if you got /etc/resolv.conf configured and working.
