Running a toshiba laptop w/ intel wireless 2100 card
Slack 10.2
2.6.15.3 kernel
I have installed the latest 2100 drivers, and along with that their recomendations of the latest ieee80211, and firmware.
All things have been installed with no errors.
Originally when i would use kwifiManager, it would show me connected to my network ssid, with a full strength signal, but no ip address.
looking through other threads is saw the recomendation to set the ip address myself to make sure it works, then worry about DHCP after.
So i used the following to set my address. This is the same address my laptop has always used when XP boots.
ifconfig eth1 192.168.2.170
This worked, and now my ip does show 192.168.2.170
But still no internet. When I run firefox or Konquer i basically get the server not found message.
I have used the ping command, to ping my desktop PC, and wireless router, and get results back.
I know it is probably a small setting I am forgeting.. any suggestions???
This is my ifconfig
