Fedora Networking :: Can't Reach Internet Via Wireless
Feb 27, 2011
I use Fed 14. I have China Telecom internet. The wired dsl connection works fine, but the wireless won't work. It has WPA security. The password taken from beneath the router is n2nqrcqx. This password is accepted. Network Manager says I am connected to ChinaNet-TRtk, but in fact, I can't reach the internet via wireless. If I disconnect the cable, I can't get through. I have the settings on automatic dhcp. I have nothing in BSSID, I don't know what that is. I unchecked the box 'require ipv4 addressing for this connection to complete' Ditto that for ipv6.
I recently upgraded my HP DV7 to 11.2. I did the install with wired network connection, my WiFi is always on as well. Install went fine, ran updates via YAST. I am running KNetworkManager, it loaded, configured eth0 and wlan0, prompted me for WEP keys and showed both connections working OK. I later found that when eth0 was disconnected, wlan0 was still connected but I could not reach internet sites. My router address was set as the gateway address and the DNS server address. Following several items on the forum, I tried 'dig' and 'route' commands.
I found that Code: HPDV7-Linux:/etc # dig [URL] ; <<>> DiG 9.6.1-P3 <<>> [URL] ;; global options: +cmd ;; Got answer: ;; ->>HEADER<<- opcode: QUERY, status: NOERROR, id: 28307 ;; flags: qr rd ra; QUERY: 1, ANSWER: 2, AUTHORITY: 0, ADDITIONAL: 0 ..... ;; Query time: 12 msec ;; SERVER: 192.168.10.1#53(192.168.10.1) ;; WHEN: Thu Mar 4 07:01:19 2010 ;; MSG SIZE rcvd: 69 returned a valid URL for that server - DNS seemed to me working properly via my router.
I found that Code: route returned: Kernel IP routing table Destination Gateway Genmask Flags Metric Ref Use Iface 192.168.10.0 * 255.255.255.0 U 2 0 0 wlan0 loopback * 255.0.0.0 U 0 0 0 lo No default route showing.
I then opened the Network Manager connection editor, went to edit for the wireless connection and found under the IP_Address tab, Routes option box that both Code: Ignore automatically obtained routes and Use only for resources on this connection were enabled, I believe by the install process.
Unchecking these yielded Code: HPDV7-Linux:/etc # route Kernel IP routing table Destination Gateway Genmask Flags Metric Ref Use Iface 192.168.10.0 * 255.255.255.0 U 2 0 0 wlan0 loopback * 255.0.0.0 U 0 0 0 lo default DD-WRT.capenet 0.0.0.0 UG 0 0 0 wlan0 and internet connectivity now working.
I used my computer this morning before leaving for the office, but when I returned this evening, I am unable to reach the internet. Also the light on the mobo where the ethernet cable is plugged in is steady yellow.
My limited experience would tell me it is a hardware failure, but it seems so strange with nothing happening during the day. How might I best diagnose the problem from within Ubuntu (10.04)?
I'm trying to give some windows users a permanent connection to a samba share behind a firewall over the public Internet. I know I can give them access with something like winscp (which they have done) but really I'd like to do it with a VPN so it seems seamless to the user. However I have no idea how to set up the server to support this and am finding the documentation a bit confusing. The samba share is on a Debian box and the firwewall is a Linksys WRT54GL.
I am not sure if this is a problem with my router or a problem with the fedora 12 server i am using.
- internal here means within my home network, external means from outside it.
I can access my server and webpage:
internally using http://192.168.0.192 externally using http://MYDNS___EXAMPLE.com
but I cannot access the server internally using http://MYDNS___EXAMPLE.com
This is a pain in the butt because I have all of my client software setup with an internal and external access point (ssh, proFTPd, http, MS Access database connected to MySql, etc.)
I have a simple home network with a windows and fedora clients. I'm running fedora 13, but I"m having problems connecting to the pc on certain ports from my windows pc. I can connect from windows to fedora using VNC, and even connect to my postgresql database. However, can not get connected to my Apache Tomcat or JBoss server. When I first installed the OS I went through and configured the firewall but have since disabled it (stopped service). However, I still can't get to the app/web servers.
can't get my wireless internet to work.I have a toshiba satellite laptop with a build in antheros wireless card. Heres the info on my card when I do lspci.Ethernet controller: Atheros Communications Inc. AR242x 802.11abg Wireless PCI Express Adapter (rev 01)I'm completely clueless on how I get it to connect to the internet wirelessly I was able to connect to my router earlier but it wouldn't let me use the internet though. I was trying to follow instructions from other post and now I cant even connect to my router anymore.
I am trying to connect to a wireless internet but can't. I previously used linux ubuntu and my wireless card worked. I am guessing that it should work with fedora then too. Is that correct? Do you have any suggestions as to what I should do to get the wireless internet working again on Fedora 12? Or what I should do to get usb wireless adapter to work.
I have wired internet connection and want to share it over a secured wireless network ... when i tried to create a secured ad-hoc network .. system doesn't connect and creates a new network with the same name but unsecured one ... i have read somewhere this method ..
[code]....
But system doesn't connect to the new network i created ... created new ad-hoc network (unsecured)..and now everyone in my range is using this connection.
I installed Fedora 15 today and after a few very long hours finally got the broadcom driver to work and my laptop is now connected to my router. Yay! But now when I try going to a website in firefox it says server not found. I can ping anything inside my network but when I try to ping outside the network, for example google, it says ping: unknown host google.com. So I thought it might be a DNS problem but the network settings point to the router for DNS so I'm not sure what else could be wrong. All of the other settings look correct.
I had Fedora 7 which works fine with my PCI card Linksys WMP54G-EU (00:0b.0 Network controller: Broadcom Corporation BCM4306 802.11b/g Wireless LAN Controller (rev 03)).
It ran with ndiswrapper.1.51.
Yesterday I installed the live-CD Fedora 10 on a new partition in another hard drive and so I have Fedora 10 but WITHOUT Internet connection.
I tried to install Ndiswrapper but the 'make' command doesn't exist in my Fedora 10 !
What are all the things I need to download from Internet to ensure the several commands like 'make uninstall', 'make', 'make install'... and to ensure installing Ndiswrapper ?
I am building a CarPC which I'd like to have wireless internet access on. I have Verizon phone service so if there is a Verizon air card (not wireless card, an air card so I can have constant access without having to search for hot spots) that would work with Fedora 10 I would be very happy. I don't really know where to start and I can't find too much on Google, so I'm just looking for what options are available.
I just installed a dualboot win7/F15 on my laptop (dell XPS 15) and everything seems to be working fine except that when I connect to my network it is connected and the network is accessible (I can visit my gateway/ router) but when I try to visit a website it simply never ends loading it.Internet is working on win7 so it isn't my network's fault.Now I found somewhere that updating could help but since I dont have internet I can't update
I have installed fedora 14 minimum install and I have configured my machine for Static IP but now i cant reach any external sites or repository, in fact all i can do is ssh to the box. below is the configuration in my /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0 file:
and my DNS is setup to point to my ISP's primary and secondary DNS servers. I have brought the interface down then up after each change but still cannot ping anything.
I was trying out the fedora live cd but I couldn't get my Internet to work. When I open firefox it always said server not kind no matter what I searched or put into the address bar:
I tried many different things but none o them worked I am able to ping m router an I'm able to login to my routers page I am also able to login to my modems page and it says connected to the Internet I tried restarting the modem and the router but I still got the same problem I also tried disabling the firewall but still had the same problem I tried a command and I was able to receive packets from google.com, but It never went through in firefox I also tried out a torrent (I had it saved on a USB) and it worked it was downloading fine I am able to ping googles web page but I am not able to search anything.
In firefox preferences and in network proxy I tried many different proxy settings bit none o them worked I always get the message server not found. All this was done while connected directly with Ethernet cable modem and router but untried wireless and it didn't work either on the top right corner of the screen the network icon says auto eth0 active. I'm using fedora 12 livecd.
I just installed Fedora 13 on my old compaq presario with a DLINK DWL-122 usb adapter. Both lights are on as if it were working, but network manager isn't auto connecting.
I'm new to Fedora, I used to have Ubuntu 10 and found that some software I required would not work properly so I decided to Fedora under recommendation from a friend. I really like it but when I installed Fedora 13 on my Netbook I found it difficult to set up my wireless connection.
I just installed Fedora 13, and now I figured, maybe I don't know so much about pc anyway. Before I tell you my problem, I would like to say that I know a lot about windows, but about linux, I don't know anything. A plain beginner. And about my problem, it's more like a "how to" question than a problem.
You see, I don't know how to set up the wifi? The pc has installed wifi, and all I need to know is how I can connect to the internet. In windows you would usually just press the connection icon and then choose witch network you would like to access, and then eventually type in the password, and there you go. But it seems it's a little more advanced at Fedora. But I will give it a shot.
I don't have a wired connection to internet. I have only a wifi connection. Is there any I could download a driver and install or myself in fedora 14??
I just upgraded from Fedora 14 to 15 and am having problems getting my wireless internet to work. I never had it working in Fedora 14 as it told me "firmware was missing." I have tried many different approaches described online and non have seemed to help me. I have an HP dv6700 laptop with a Broadcom "Broadcom Corporation BCM4312 802.11b/g LP-PHY (rev 01)" chipset. I have installed the Broadcom-wl set from yum as well.
i have installed fedora 15(lovelock) on my lenovo z560 ideapad laptop. in fedora 15 lovelock internet is not working by wire or wireless. Network controller: Broadcom Corporation BCM4322 803.11a/b/g/n Wireless LAN Controller (rev 01)

Suse 11.2 > updated Feb 2 using the Update UI applet.
I had internet connectivity prior to installing the updates. Now I can't reach the internet since installing the updates. I can reach my router, log in to the router I also ping the router but I can not ping the WAN side ip on the router.
When I boot into redmond, no issues, which is what I'm using as I write this.
I have security enabled, WPA2 Personal, not that I think that is an issue as I can reach the router, my server, network printers, and PC's.
I am running a Linksys router but have replaced the standard Linksys software with DD-WRT v24-sp2 build date 12/28/09 std. One note, DD-WRT does hand out IpV6 address but I have disabled FF from using IpV6 address along with the network connection configuration applet from accepting them. (I don't remember the applets name)
In the redmond world this would be a certificate error, is this the same type of an issue? If so how do I fix it?
I have a Windows XP virtual machine under Virtualbox PUEL 3.1.2. I have always been able to browse the Web or do anything else I wanted over the network.
Suddenly, the guest XP machine can't reach the Internet any more. There is no indication of any problem with the network connection. I checked my router, and the virtual machine is indeed getting assigned an IP address. So why can't it reach the internet?
Yes, the virtual network adapter is in bridged mode. It always worked that way before. I can see local network shares from the virtual XP machine, and even reach the Apache server running on the host OS (Ubuntu 9.10 64-bit).
Also possibly significant: Even though the virtual XP machine is detected by the router & assigned an IP address, the printer attached to the virtual XP machine cannot be seen by another Windows machine (a real one, not virtual) on the network. I never had a problem sharing the printer before. I have to share it from a virtual Windows XP machine when I'm running Ubuntu because there are no Linux drivers available (it's a Winprinter).
I installed Fedora 12 on my Compaq Presario c700 Notebook recently and had a great install. I installed ndiswrapper and installed the inf file for my broadcom 4311 driver through ndiswrapper as well. The installation of the driver appeared to go smoothly.
The only thing is that I still cannot connect to the internet. I aliased the driver as well to wlan0. I can not figure out what is currently the problem. I tried reinstalling the driver and I keep receive a message stating the driver is already installed.
I have set up my guest OS in VirtualBox so that it has a static ip and is using a bridged adapter. As a result, I can see the webserver that's hosted in guest from my host OS's web browser. However, for some reason my current setup does not allow my guest to reach the internet. What settings do I need to enable both?
I've installed apache2 on ubuntu 10.04 and everything works fine, but when I use functions that needs to connect to Internet, it doesn't work. Is there a simple setup I've forgot? I've been searching and looking for a solution, but I'm stuck!
I am a convert from Ubuntu (9.04 kept freezing on my laptop; when it did work, many packages it seemed were outdated--ie only Eclipse 3.2, rdesktop was messed up [and apparently is also in Fedora]), and I am having some trouble with getting my wireless working.I am running Fedora 11.First off, there is a problem when trying to connect when using DHCP. NetworkManager gets to the second green dot, and then after a short while I am given a message that the connection was disconnected.
Configuring the interface manually, not using DHCP, allows the connection to complete. However, the internet is very slow. There is a 15-30 sec delay before website loading actually commences, and then another delay each time an ad must be fetched from another server.How can I fix this delay? I know I have encountered it in earlier versions of Ubuntu, but I can't remember how I fixed it.About the rdesktop problem, if anyone is able to help [maybe I should post another thread?], the cursor color (the color of the pointer) is inverted---where it should be white it is black, and where it should be black it is white. I use rdesktop a lot to connect to my terminal server in my basement. Any idea how to fix it?
In Ubuntu 9.10 (fresh install, not an upgrade from 9.04) on an ASUS EeePC 900, I was using wireless networking at home, which worked well. I took the netbook to work a few times and did not using it at home all that period of time. I connected it as a wired network (DHCP) at work, and it "just worked" fine (no configuration was needed). Now I tried to use it at home and wireless no longer works for all users. In System > Preferences > Network connections I can access the wireless configuration and it is still there, still with all the correct settings as worked before. However, in the network manager I access from the upper panel via the antenna icon, it now only lists a Wired network. The wireless network isn't in the list at all. No upgrades were done. I do those from home and tried to do one this morning but since wireless did not work I could not accomplish it.
I could hook it to a wired network, so if fixing this needs to upgrade something, that's doable (but I'd think it should not be needed since wireless did work before). I was going to try things like delete all networks and start again, but since that might lose information about a possible bug, I'm holding off.
