(old)Puppy Linux Discussion Forum

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?

Hello,
Does the IP it gives you start with 192 like 192.168.1.123?
Or 255?
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,

it is lucid puppy 5.28 (the current one i think).
I am using it on Laptop with integrated wlan (ipw2200).

I made what you proposed.
Here is the terminal output:

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

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..

Sorry, it doesnt work.

all seeting are correctly accepted, but the ping doesnt work.

How can i check, that the driver is loaded correctly?

Hello,
lsmod
shows loaded modules
modprobe xxx
probes for a module.
So try
modprobe ipw2200

Been using IPW2200 on Dell laptops for years;
always shows as eth0 or eth1.

Always worked fine on every Puppy back to 3.xx ;
works fine with Lupu.

Try This

Hi,

it is done!

iwconfig eth1 enc s:password

was the trick.

Thanx for your help!

Bye

Thomas, can you please mark the thread "solved"?
