[solved]connected to router, no internet

at home i have no problem at all, i connect to my wifi (wpa2personal), using wpa_supplicant and dhcpcd
at work, we have a router using WPA, dhcpcd will just say timed out, so i do it manually

'dhcpcd -S ip_address=192.168.1.80/24 -S routers=192.168.1.1 -S domain_name_server=8.8.8.8 ra0'

i am connected, i can open routers configuration page using any browser, i can ping it, but i can not open/ping any other address outside localnetwork (such as google)
( i can even ping this laptop running windows)

two questions:
1.what am i doing wrong?
2.what kind of information should i provide here?

tanx

(there is no firewall)
they just told me router is not running dhcp that's why i have to do it manually
in routers stat page i can see my MAC address as authorized

I've never used dhcpcd like that (would just use ip if I needed static config), but the man page says '-S domain_name_servers=' - you're missing the last 's'.

@tomk:  tanx, it was a misspelling here, i did it right on arch
doing
ip route add default via 192.168.1.1
fixed it, i guess it's time for me to read a book on networking from scratch!

my stupidity today is becoming a problem today, i dont know why i missed this article before asking:
https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Co … IP_address

Instantly and without mercy!

In all seriousness, just edit your opening post and then you can add [SOLVED] to the subject line.
