I am completely new to linux and need help with wireless connectivity.
I have installed freebsd 6.3-RELEASE
I have a toshiba satellite 1005-s157 with a dlink gs630 pcmcia card
and a linksys wr54g wireless router.
ifconfig shows status: associated but I cannot ping anything other
than the static IP address that I gave to the wireless card.
The card is known working, the AP is known working.
I do not have DHCP running on the AP and simply assign IP's to all of
my boxes when I first bring them online.
topology:
wall-->bellsouth router-->linksys AP
linksys has a static IP of 192.168.1.3
bellsouth router has a static IP of 192.168.1.254
I have added a default route by running the following.
route add default 192.168.1.254
I also ran this
ifconfig ath0 ssid "MYAPNAMEHERE" wepmode on weptxkey "MYPASSPHRASE"
ifconfig ath0 list scan shows the AP that I am trying to connect
through and shows CAPS of EP only.
The Question is:
How am I associated with the AP but cannot ping anything other than
localhost, 127.0.0.1 and the static IP address that I gave the card?
All pings except to localhost or 127 or my static ip result in a host
down message
contents of /etc/resolv.conf
