My Problem seems to be very odd... first off all... am using the Drivers RT2500 for my Wireless Network Card.. It seems to work ok.. since i can acess the LAN or ping my network.. the real problem is the internet.. it seems that it doesnt let me in :S,

My Ifconfig ra0 tell me this

Code:

ra0

Hi,

Welcome to linuxquestions.org!

It looks to me like your problem is that the route isn't quite correct, at least not for browsing the internet. The route is indeed right to tell your machine where to send traffic to reach the 192.168.1.0/24 network, but it doesn't know what to do with traffic to any other network - hence the reason you can't browse the net.

What you need is to remove the route that you have and add a default route:

Code:

route add default gw 192.168.1.254

I'm assuming that 192.168.1.254 is the address of your router, if not replace this with your router's ip address.

Try again and hopefully should work ok!

Cheers,

Steve

Thanks for that :P but that didnt resolve my problem.. it still get me that it doesnt resolve host... neither the ip... like for example...

my ip: blablablabla... i make a ping and nothing... it doesnt got access to internet.. but it can access the router

http://192.168.1.254 :P

I have read about ndiswrapper... does it is good??? its better than this rt2500 drivers that sucks?? xd

I appreciate your Answers, and if you want to help me more.. add me to msn

Now the System hangouts... and when i take off the lo interface it take more time to tell me www.google.com doesnt exist...

i wonder if it may got something to be with the interface of loopback?

I should have thought of this sooner, but, err you have got your DNS server's IP address in your /etc/resolv.conf haven't you?

Cheers,

DNS Server IP?? .. dunno whats that.. maybe something more about this :S, you now i am a

The real question.. is how to know my DNS server IP?? does it is my router address?? xD

SteveK1979 · 04-19-2005, 05:32 PM

A DNS server is how your machine knows what IP address on the internet to connect to in order to retrieve a particular website such as www.google.com

Without it, your machine won't be able to find anything out on the internet by name. On all unix-like operating systems that I can think of, the IP address of a DNS server is entered in the file /etc/resolv.conf - try having a look at

Code:

man resolv.conf

Your router may be able to act as a DNS server. This will almost certainly only work if it knows about your ISP's DNS servers. The best thing would be to ask your ISP. They should have given you the information when you registered your account with them.
