Wireless is working, but no internet.

Hi, so I can connect to my wireless router and ping it just fine, but I can't ping stuff like google or anything.

I used these series of commands:

iwconfig wlan0 essid "MyEssid"
wpa_supplicant -B  -i wlan0 -c /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf
dhcpcd wlan0

And i'm using the ath5k modules. (I tried ath_pci, but it doesn't even reconise my wireless device...)

I"m guessing it is a gateway issue.. but i dunno.

Re: Wireless is working, but no internet.

The output of the route command should show your gateway/route info.

Edited for fail.

Re: Wireless is working, but no internet.

Do not uncomment the gateway if you are using dhcp. dhcp sets the gateway automatically.

Read the wiki network page and try again. If you're still in difficulty, post the output of the ifconfig and route commands and the contents of /etc/resolv.conf.

Re: Wireless is working, but no internet.

Ok, I commented out the gateway defaults and it worked.

I got KDEmod up and running, and now i'm having troubles with Wicd.
I set up Wicd like it says in the arch wiki, and it still will not connect to my WPA network. It doesn't even look like it tries.

suggestions?

Re: Wireless is working, but no internet.

Try netcfg (wiki: net-profiles) - IMHO it's better and it's not GUI-related, ao you can use your network connection also when you're not using X.

Re: Wireless is working, but no internet.

Wicd is a bit strange. You have to click on configure -> configure your network. After that you can press connect because connect won't let you enter any details only by pressing configuration you can change the connection settings.

Try to specify details about your network in /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf

network={
    ssid="yourssid"
    proto=WPA2
    key_mgmt=WPA-PSK
    pairwise=CCMP TKIP
    group=CCMP TKIP
    #psk="secretpassword"
    psk=fhjsoiufhj8967DS8Jnsdjs...
}

Re: Wireless is working, but no internet.

Wicd was making me mad, so I switched to netcfg like zenlord suggested, and also used auto-wifi, and i'm loving it! big_smile
