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 search . nameserver 205.xxx.xxx.xxx nameserver 205.xxx.xxx.xxx nameserver 205.xxx.xxx.xxx -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/wireless-help-tp17709547p17709547.html Sent from the freebsd-questions mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
