Any wireless experts out there?
Hi All I didn't get any response on my email that I couldn't make a wireless connection. Now I have the connection all running again, I can go to a website if I know the IP address, I also can get my email ( I put in a specific IP address) supplied by my ISP . But I can't go on to the Web. It seems the DNS is not working . Has anybody an idea what to look for and/or what to change? I'm using a Netgear MA311 802/b card on SuSE 9.0 Thanks for your help. -- Greetings from /bill at 169 west , 19 south. Disclaimer: Any errors in spelling, tact, or fact are transmission errors."
Bill,
if your network connection is working and you're able to connect via IP, then
your problem is with name resolution.
Edit your /etc/resolv.conf and add your ISP name servers IP addresses. You can
then use the dns tools to check if your system is able to resolve names:
dig www.suse.de ?
dig www.yahoo.com ?
If you're able to resolve names, you should be able to do everything else.
Hope this helps.

Jorge and all the others who responded to my question: I don't know why my DHCP failed suddenly but I went to static address setup put in two IP addresses I got from my ISP in Name server 1 and 2 , and it is all working again. -- Greetings from /bill at 169 west , 19 south.

I know , I helped out myself a few times
nb. does firewall have a port 53 open?
