ifconfig and route woes??
 

Hi all,

I have been using Slackware 9 for a while now.
I have been connecting to the net via my built-in network card (eth0) with no problems, and my wireless (eth1) with no problems.

I now have another wireless network I wish to connect to. The first one has no WEP encryption and worked out of the box with no configuration problems.

The second wireless network uses WEP 128.
I have used iwconfig to set the WEP key, and furthermore the router it connects to states that it accepted a connection from my IP address.
The weird part is this:
I can ping the router.
I can ping IPs on the net.
I *cannot* ping yahoo.com (etc...)
I *cannot* ping other computers on the same router.

I am fairly certain that I am correctly configured w.r.t the router. I think the computer I am trying to ping on the router may be blocking due to a firewall.
What baffles me is that yahoo.com will not ping, but that the IP corresponding to it will.

The following is my route output:
192.168.0.0 * 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 0 eth1
lookback default entry
default 192.168.0.1 0.0.0.0 UG 1 0 0 eth1

192.168.0.1 is indeed the correct gateway.

Obviously the inability to resolve yahoo.com etc... is causing browsing the net not to work.

Does anyone know how to fix this?

Cheers,

I'd say you'll need to check your nameservers in /etc/resolve.conf from the looks of it.

Thanks :)

Worked a charm

Good for you, although I did make a spelling error on that filename...

It's resolv.conf for those who can't find it :)
