Linksys WMP54G problem

Hello,

I've just installed SUSE 9.3, the Wi-Fi Linksys WMP54G
PCI recognized and configured (I think so :-). The problem
is that I can ping my router but cannot connect Internet
(of course under XP all works fine).

Something wrong with configuration?

Thanks for help,
Y.B.

I have exactly the same problem with a Hawking router, and same problem
even without the router. I can ping the router (or the ISP, with no
router), but cannot connect to internet.
I am using Earthlink DSL, and I don't think the DHCP client in 9.3 works
right for DSL. Note the weasel-words in the book about setting up the
network with DSL- the book says "do it manually" and then becomes pretty
unhelpful for a newbie. There is a wonderful "cool solutions"
article "SUSE Router How To" that suggests trying the
command /sbin/route -n, which returns a bunch of stuff. In my case, it
says my gateway is 192.168.99.99, which is absolutely wrong- and it
doesn't ping. I suggest looking at that article, and going to the Console
and trying /sbin/route, and taking it from there.
So, in my case I will risk my marriage again and do what the book says,
and try a manual setup. BTW, the 3 windows PCs (both W96/2 and XP) and 1
Mac on the same network work fine. I had 9.3 running with SBC DSL after
another prolonged bout with setup, so it is possible. Unfortunately I
didn't take notes during that bout.
