Re: [newbie] Compex WLU11A with Mandrake 9.2 Detected but unable to surf the net. ( post #1)

Hey there,

Here are the following.

 

/etc/resolv.conf

searchhost local
nameserver 165.21.100.88

nameserver 165.21.83.88

 

/etc/sysconfig/network

NETWORKING=yes
GATEWAYDEV=wlan0

 

/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-wlan0

DEVICE=wlan0
BOOTPROTO=static
IPADDR=192.168.168.102
NETMASK=255.255.255.0
NETWORK=192.168.168.1
BROADCAST=192.168.168.255
>KEY=off

Hey thanks, btw, 165.21.100.88 and 165.21.83.88 are both my primary and secondary dns addresees respectively. i am able to ping my router(gateway) but unable to surf or ping any internet sites. therefore, like what you said, it should be the default routes or the nameserver. thanks a lot for your help!

 

cheers,

benjy
