Can't get network running properly

Hello all,

after years of using other distros, I checked out Arch on the weekend.
I installed it parallel to my productive system and now I have a dual boot setup.
Everything went kind of well with the installation till I tried to set up my wireless networking.
The module ipw2200 is loaded correctly, also the LED of network activity is on.
I switched my router to open WLAN without any encryption, set up my default gateway (192.168.178.1) an gave
my machine the IP 192.168.178.21 ( like in my productive system).

The problem now is that I can't ping anything exept the gateway itself, neither by name nor by IP.

Any ideas?

Cheers

What about your DNS ip? Did you forgot it?!

Re: Can't get network running properly

Hi,

where do I have to put it?
But I don't think this could be the problem, cause I am also not able to
perform a ping upon an IP address.

Re: Can't get network running properly

where do I have to put it?

/etc/resolv.conf

But I don't think this could be the problem, cause I am also not able to
perform a ping upon an IP address.

Can you post the output of `route -n` and `ifconfig -a` please?

By the way, DNS is in /etc/resolv.conf

Any ideas?

Can you post that - everything else looks OK

Re: Can't get network running properly

Hi there,

unfortunately I'm in the office right now not having my machine here.
As I recall from yesterday's look at /etc/resolv.conf, it looked kinka this:

nameserver 192.168.178.1

Maybe, I check what's in there on my other distro :-)
Again, I'm also not able to ping on IPs directly, therefore I don't think the problems located
with the DNS...
