[SOLVED]Connected to router, but not internet

thesideshow · 2012-08-04 01:18:15

Hey guys, I'm having problems getting myself connected to the internet.

To be clear, I managed to get it working for the live install, but I'm now having trouble using net-auto-wireless.

iwconfig shows that my computer is connected to the router (The computer also shows up on the router's client list), but I can't ping anything, not even my router (connect: Network is unreachable).

dhcpcd wlan0 also times out.

Any advice would be appreciated

would you mind posting the output of

$ ip route

and

$ ip add

these might help

Thanks for the replies guys

ip route gives nothing

Well, I think at least one of your tools are lying to you.

3: wlan0: <NO-CARRIER,BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP,LOWER_UP>

Is pretty clear that you are not associated with your router.

Can you post the output of sudo iwlist scan and of iwconfig ??

Well, ya *need* a route to the Internet. E.g.:

default via 192.168.1.1 dev eth0

Defining your network options in /etc/rc.conf might solve the problem!

For the interest of my learning, is it NO-CARRIER that shows it is not associated with the router?

I'm not sure how to copy the results to paste it here (since i'm not connected to anything) so I'm only going to type out what I think is interesting. Please let me know if there's anything else I should post here.

iwlist scan has many "IE: Unknown: XXXXXXXXXX" errors for the SSID of interest

Example:

IE: Unknown: 000E3936204A616C616E204C6562616E

iwconfig

Hi thesideshow! Welcome to Arch Linux forums.

I'm assuming that you have two systems here.
1. Arch with internet problem.
2. Working internet connection.

Output the results of the command from Arch with internet problem.

#command > abc.txt

#example
iwconfig > abc.txt

The results of iwconfig will be in abc.txt, in the directory where you have executed the command.
Get a USB drive, and well, I don't have to teach the rest, don't I?

On a side note, just out of interest, what is your wireless card module/driver?
Is it supported by Arch Linux?

You need to switch to systemd then network-manager then fedora.

It's an ASUS 1005HA, so it's a Atheros AR9285. I got it working during the live install following the beginner's guide on the wiki though, so I expect it should work!

Okay I'm officially an idiot.

I read this in the wireless set up page

Note that WEP string keys (not hex keys) must be specified with a leading s: (e.g. KEY="s:somepasskey")

and misread WEP as WPA.

Sorry for wasting your times!

W4RH4WK · 2012-08-04 11:45:30

no problem, we all make mistakes. You are welcome
