can connect to wireless router, but no internet or local network

[HellGuardian]

hi, ive just installed fedora after removing win xp, and im not able to connect to the internet. the internet adsl modem is connected to a linksys router through which 4 laptops are accessing net via wifi.
the router has local lan ip 192.168.0.20, internet ip 192.168.1.100 and default gateway 192.168.1.1.

im able to connect to the wifi network and get ip assigned (assigned settings are ip: 192.168.0.5, subnet mask: 255.255.255.0, default route: 192.168.1.100, primary dns: 202.149.208.92, secondary dns: 202.149.208.11.

but im not able to ping other laptops on the lan, for eg. 192.168.0.13 (all running windows) and when i try to ping 192.168.1.100 and 192.168.1.1, destination is unreachable, while the others can ping it. Im only able to ping the local ip of the router, i.e. 192.168.0.20.

the output of /sbin/route -n command is:

Destination Gateway Genmask Flags Metric Ref Use Iface
192.168.0.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 0 eth1

the file /etc/resolv.conf has the dns servers listed, (nameserver 202.149.....).

i have searched a lot on various forums, but havent found an answer. what should i do now? thank u for ur help.

[sameeh]

can u retry your tests after flushing the iptables firewall rules ?

iptables -F
iptables -X
iptables -t nat -F
iptables -t nat X

or simply service iptables stop

Same network wrong with HellGuardian
And I found i can get the right route table when login on wireless, but just pass 10 second, the route table will lost, but I can get the connection info from the NetworkManager, but on the command line, the route table just display a 'net'.

I try add a route file for my wireless on the /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/route-eth1[my wireless eth name], it's can not effective for my network, not still fixed it.

And I have try disable the iptables too as like the Sameeh said, but still can't fixed it.

[HellGuardian]

i tried the firewall flush using the commands given, then ran /sbin/route -n, but the result was the same as mentioned in first post. even after disabling firewall, /sbin/route -n got the same result.

[HellGuardian]

also, the router is not showing my comp as connected on WLAN when i opened the router ip, through another win xp comp. my comp's ip is 192.168.0.5 that is not shown.

[HellGuardian]

i also tried adding a route via the gui, system > networking, and then editing the eth1 connection (wireless). i added the destination 0.0.0.0, prefix (netmask) 0.0.0.0 and gateway 192.168.1.100, but then after restarting network service, when i check /sbin/route -n, the new route is not added. i also tried to restart the comp, but still the new entry was not shown.

do ,as root , and post the response to:

ifconfig -a
netstat -rn
cat /etc resolv.conf.

this may be already covered above, but lets just be sure by command line. Three basic things needed to connect out to the web.

an ip address, you got it.
a route to your default gateway, let's check with netstat
and DNS assignment to resolve host your urls, you got that.

If you have more than 1 interface, like i sometimes do, the last interface is going to try to set the default router. check that with the netstat command above. If the default is pointing to the wrong interface then delete it out with

route del -net x.x.x.x

then add the correct route with

route add default gw y.y.y.y

that's a start, please post the output of the first threecommands.

YEAH!!!!!!!! my net's working.....

wat i did was change the subnet mask in wifi manual ip config settings to 255.255.248.0

and it worked.

got the solution here: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=5877330

even though i am able to ping 192.168.1.100 now, im still not able to ping 192.168.1.1...

thank you all....<3....was almost goin to go back to windows (even though ive used ubuntu for over a year)...but not anymore...

[shess01]

ok. here is my table... (separated by lines so you can see)

[root@macbeth ~]# netstat -rn
Kernel IP routing table

Destination Gateway Genmask Flags MSS Window irtt Iface

192.168.1.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 0 wlan0

0.0.0.0 192.168.1.1 0.0.0.0 UG 0 0 0 wlan0


see where you are missing the "UG" entry in your table? that is the default gateway. that is your route...

but you did not run any of these commands as root. you can get to root with

su -
(then enter your password) you should get the # prompt after that.

try to run this command...

route add default gw 192.168.0.1

then re-run the netstat command

netstat -rn

then ping your dns

ping 202.149.208.92

then dig google

dig google.com

then try to surf...

If all of that works, the real question is why should you have to manually enter a default gateway...

[shess01]

GREAT!

But I think you may still have issues if you have to do manual setting everytime.

Could you check the subnet mask of the other PC's compare what is their setting. Although you can have different subnetting on the same router it should not be necessary.

Also that route add command above was assuming a 255.255.255.0 subnet,, if you have something different just look at the default gateway on your other machins and substitute that in...

ciao

its all fine now, as long as im entering the subnet as 255.255.248.0, i even tried 255.255.0.0 but it took 248 automatically. im using manual ip setting, even though dhcp is working fine too. also when i look up the kernel ip routing table (netstat -rn or /sbin/route -n), there is another line there:

Kernel IP routing table
Destination Gateway Genmask Flags MSS Window irtt Iface
192.168.0.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.248.0 U 0 0 0 eth1
0.0.0.0 192.168.1.100 0.0.0.0 UG 0 0 0 eth1
[HellGuardian@HellGuardian ~]$

earlier, when i had tried adding the second line, i got the error like "no such process". but after changing the subnet, it appeared automatically.



---- the other pcs (win xp) have got the subnet 255.255.255.0----
