Ken, Dominique, I got the problem solved - after reviewing the logs, i discovered that it was because DHCP had already allocated an IP address for the box from the eth0 (LAN) connection so it would not allocate another IP address to the same box for the same profile. The solution was to delete the wireless connection, set up a profile for the LAN, reboot, create a connection for the WLAN, set up a new profile for that, reboot, and switch profiles based on where i go. Now, the box has four profiles, one each for home/office LAN and home/office WLAN and they all work perfectly... Thanks very much for the guidance and suggestions...they were a big help. jr On Thu, 2005-11-17 at 07:26 +0100, Dominique Leuenberger wrote:

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'
Greetings Dominique
