It could be that the > router will not respond to pings from a wireless connection... I wish this were the case. I think the problem might be due to mandrake control center. In order to setup the wireless card I did modprobe ndiswrapper loadndisdriver blah blah blah blah iwconfig wlan0 power off iwconfig wlan0 key open XXXXXXXXX iwconfig wlan0 essid "House" ifconfig wlan0 192.168.1.105 route add default gw 192.168.1.1 When I go to Mandrake Control Center to check what the internet settings are it has different settings for wlan0 then what I manually configured. Is there a way to maybe turn off the mcc internet configuration, or at least point me towards what files I need to modify to get the settings in line? > > Mikkel > > > Dumb question time. > Can you ping the router from other computers on the network? > > If so, is it only the wireless connection you can not ping from? Nope, the other computers on the network are able to ping the router wireless or not. > > Are you running a firewall on the wireless computer? > I was but I just disabled it - no affect. > Can you access the Internet using the wireless connection through the > router? Not from my computer. Any attempt to fire up a browser just sits and spins. Any attempt at pinging IP's outside of the network returns a "network not available" error. (Or something like that) Other computers using the wireless connection work fine > > Can you access setup on the router using the wireless connection? > (Usually http://192.168.1.1) Again, not from my computer but the other wireless computers are okay.
