Hey guys

i was wondering whether you could help me out. I have a dlink DWL-650+ wireless card and am running the axc100 drivers on Red Hat 9. I have the module up and running and i configured it with wireless tools. I can ping the wireless access point, however, when i try to ping anyone else on the network or i try to ping a website (ip address or url) it says either
From 172.16.0.1 icmp_seq=1 destination host unreachable
From 172.16.0.1 icmp_seq=2 destination host unreachable
From 172.16.0.1 icmp_seq=3 destination host unreachable
From 172.16.0.1 icmp_seq=4 destination host unreachable
or
connect: Network is unreachable

I put nameserver 172.16.01 in /etc/resol.conf

I have absolutly no idea what the heck is going on and would like some help

Thanks in Advance.......

putting the nameserver 172.16.0.1 in your /etc/resolv.conf will not help you if you cannot even successfully ping it. what is your network configuration?
router/WAP -> machine ? or router -> WAP -> machine? do you use DHCP? do you use WEP (encryption key)? what's your IP and your access points IP?

There's a lot of factors in your question. please provide more information.

some more info

i have do use dchp and wep

it goes router/wap -> machine

if it helps that i use a 2WIRE router setup in a infastructure mode

the ip addresses range from 172.16.1.30-172.16.1.40

anything else that would be helpful
????

Thanks for your reply

ok. so you use 172.16.1.30-40, but what is 172.16.0.1? if that's your router's address then you need to make sure that your netmask is set properly.

"ifconfig eth0", what is your netmask? change if need be: "ifconfig eth0 netmask 255.255.0.0". try to ping the router. what happens?

Did you setup your wep key with "iwconfig key <KEY>" when you played around with the wireless tools?

yeah i tried what you said but it still doesnt work, i do have wep configured
and the correct key is in. I have no idea what is going on so PLEASE HELP!!!

you didn't answer all my questions. you do not tell me the IP of your router, but only tell me the range of IPs? I take it the range means you have other machines? are they wireless? are they working? please provide more information.

i do have other machines (all wireless on my network)
I can get the card to work in xp
the base station ip is 172.16.0.1
and i looked a my netmask and all, it was all configured
