Hi list,
I just moved from Linspire to Suse 10 and like the transition very much. Everything works pretty well from the install but I cannot seem to get the WLAN to work. I can hit the Access point from any other machine and get to the Internet fine, but with Suse, I can hit the config screen on the Access Point and configure, etc. but still cannot get out to the Internet. The card is configured correctly using 64-bit WEP and it is recognized by the kwifimanager program with an excellent signal and a valid IP address assigned with DHCP from the AP. I must be overlooking something but am baffled at this point. Can someone shed some light on why I cannot get out to the internet? Many thanks in advance.
Hi John,
Jave you checked if DNS name resolution works correct? Are there valid DNS servers in your /etc/resolv.conf? You receive them by DHCP? Try to connect to something like http://212.203.69.7 (so no dns is required)
I guess on such a failure as you say you can access the web interface of your AP (probably using it's IP) so it might be such a cause... in other cases I would try to check the routing table using 'route print'
