Wireless network doesnt work

#1 Post by behli »

Hi,

i installed the wireless network with the connect wizard.
(lucid puppy linux )

The driver is loaded, my wlan router is found successfully , i received an IP adress.

But when i make i ping:

The network is unreachable, regardless if i enter eg. pop.web.de or the ip adress directly.

Can anybody help me?

:D Hello,
Does the IP it gives you start with 192 like 192.168.1.123?
Or 255? :x
Run "net-setup.sh" in a terminal, go thru the GUI steps and watch the terminal for error messages...
Or.
Try "dhcpcd" in a terminal, does it get a 192.xxx.x.x address?

Also, always be specific when asking for assistance..
What version of Puppy?
What kind of wireless card..
Open, wep or wpa??

Hi,

I am using it on Laptop with integrated wlan (ipw2200).

It is very strange thing, that my ip starts with 169.

:D Hello,
169 is the first number of an automatic IPv4 address assigned by TCP/IP when no external networking device is contactable.
Try.
ifconfig eth1 192.168.0.1 netmask 255.255.255.0
Then
ifconfig
again to see if it took...
You can set the gateway like this:
route add default gw 192.168.0.253 eth0
You may have the wrong driver, as your wireless should be either wlan0 or card specific like ra0 (for ralink) not eth1, but I have seen eth1 work before, so try the above..

lsmod

modprobe xxx
probes for a module.
So try
modprobe ipw2200
