Connected to wirless network - but no internet.
After a bit of work, I am at the point where my wireless card is detecting the network (any network nearby -- so that much is working)
But, it is not actually online. Also, i've noticed that nothing is connected as wlan - just eth1 Here is what I'm talking about: linux:~ # ifconfig eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 08:00:46:AA:BD:AA inet addr:192.168.2.121 Bcast:192.168.2.255 Mask:255.255.255.0 inet6 addr: fe80::a00:46ff:feaa:bdaa/64 Scope:Link UP BROADCAST NOTRAILERS RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 RX packets:752 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:735 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:1000 RX bytes:413871 (404.1 Kb) TX bytes:120508 (117.6 Kb) Interrupt:11 Base address:0x2000 eth1 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:02:8A:94:7B:9F inet addr:192.168.2.2 Bcast:192.168.2.255 Mask:255.255.255.0 inet6 addr: fe80::202:8aff:fe94:7b9f/64 Scope:Link UP BROADCAST NOTRAILERS RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 RX packets:50 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:10 errors:1 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:1000 RX bytes:13111 (12.8 Kb) TX bytes:2830 (2.7 Kb) Interrupt:10 Base address:0x3000 Memory:d4006000-d4006fff lo Link encap:Local Loopback inet addr:127.0.0.1 Mask:255.0.0.0 inet6 addr: ::1/128 Scope:Host UP LOOPBACK RUNNING MTU:16436 Metric:1 RX packets:42 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:42 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:0 RX bytes:2708 (2.6 Kb) TX bytes:2708 (2.6 Kb) And this: inux:~ # iwconfig lo no wireless extensions. eth0 no wireless extensions. eth1 IEEE 802.11-DS ESSID:"MSHOME" Nickname:"linux" Mode:Ad-Hoc Frequency:2.437GHz Cell: 00:0D:3A:70:38:C7 Bit Rate:2Mb/s Tx-Power=15 dBm Sensitivity:1/3 Retry min limit:8 RTS thr:off Fragment thr=512 B Encryption key:off Power Management:off Link Quality:0 Signal level:0 Noise level:0 Rx invalid nwid:0 Rx invalid crypt:8 Rx invalid frag:0 Tx excessive retries:8 Invalid misc:0 Missed beacon:0 sit0 no wireless extensions. So, again the problem is that i'm detecting / connecting to networks - but not the internet Any help is appreciated. -Alan |
the wireless device need not be named wlan. eth1 is fine (it can be named anything you please, actually).
Try doing ifdown eth0 (this will deactivate your ethernet card). This might be enough to get your computer to connect through your wireless card. If not try ifdown eth0 ifdown eth1 ifup eth1 |
Hours of trouble solved in 3 lines.
Thank you :^D -Alan |
