Internet Connection doesn't work any more!

tezem · 2005-07-13 16:48:45

Ok for me it's a very strange situation and therefore I have to open this thread.
I don't have a clue to solve this problem.
AFAIR everything works fine yesterday. Since then I didn't change anything but today I didn't get a connection to the internet. First I thought that it's a error on the provider side but then I bootet to windows and everything works.
Back to Linux the same again.
LAN is working so it's not an error of my wlan connection and it's not the routers problem because windows still works.
I know I don't give much information about my problem but what should I say more when I don't know more about it?

best regards

what module does your card use?
is it loaded (check lsmod)?
what does ifconfig eth0 output?

As I said internal network/LAN is working over my wlan connection.
It's not eth0 but eht1 and it gets the correct ip address over dhcp from the router.
Give it up this is not the failure
If the ipw2200 driver wouldn't be loaded the internal network wouldn't work and I know not only from ifconfig of the working LAN but also from the ability of connecting to other computers to the LAN and the Router Interface.

Ok, I missed that (you should have put it first )

your local LAN works, but can't hit outside... this is going to be a gateway problem....

if you're using a static IP, make sure you have the gateway route (in rc.conf) setup properly
if you're using DHCP, then it should do proper routing... in that case, I'd check and make sure /etc/resolv.conf is getting written properly (nameserver should be your gateway)

Beyond that I'd say:
* try renaming /etc/sysctrl.conf to something else and rebooting - this is a long shot, but some people seem to have issues with it.
* try a static IP and see if that works

yes I use dhcp and the resolv.conf is properly written.
I will try the other things tomorrow.
thx for now

No idea why but now it works again.
I restartet my wireless script two times or so and now it works.
As I supposed the problem was on the routes. I had

Kernel IP routing table
Destination     Gateway         Genmask         Flags Metric Ref    Use Iface
192.168.1.0     *               255.255.255.0   U     0      0        0 eth1

and now I have

Kernel IP routing table
Destination     Gateway         Genmask         Flags Metric Ref    Use Iface
192.168.1.0     *               255.255.255.0   U     0      0        0 eth1
default         192.168.1.254   0.0.0.0         UG    0      0        0 eth1

Really don't know why it seems to work sometime and sometimes not. This must have something to do with dhcp, am I right?
