Wireless works (in theory) but no sites load

[growbag]

OK, now try with these commands:

ping -c 192.168.2.1

ping yahoo.com

That will tell you if you can actually talk to your router, and the second one will tell if the DNS system is working.

Please post the results here.

Ok. This is what I get:
linux-00kw:/home/pr0zaxx # ping -c 192.168.2.1
Usage: ping [-LRUbdfnqrvVaA] [-c count] [-i interval] [-w deadline]
[-p pattern] [-s packetsize] [-t ttl] [-I interface or address]
[-M mtu discovery hint] [-S sndbuf]
[ -T timestamp option ] [ -Q tos ] [hop1 ...] destination

Looks like it just says me what I can do with the ping command right?

linux-00kw:/home/pr0zaxx # ping yahoo.com
ping: unknown host yahoo.com

I don't know if it is important but it tried to connect to yahoo for 20 seconds. That is roughly the same time the browser needs to tell me that it cannot connect to the site.
Which I do not understand because Windows does and Linux says it has a connection and just does not connect to the sites.

Yeah, that's the way I like it.

Calling me "unhelpful" but posting such **** as "help".

Perhaps you should RTFM yourself my dear growbag and stop being such a loudmouth.

Needless to say that the sticky, which has been mentionend and linked several times now contains _correct_ syntax for the ping command.

[growbag]

Oops, looks like I missed a part of the command out there, sorry!

The correct command should have been:

ping -c 4 192.168.2.1

[Pr0zaxX]

In that case I get the following:

linux-00kw:/home/pr0zaxx # ping -c 4 192.168.2.1
PING 192.168.2.1 (192.168.2.1) 56(84) bytes of data.

3 packets transmitted, 0 received, +4 errors, 100% packet loss, time 2014ms

linux-00kw:/home/pr0zaxx # ping yahoo.com
ping: unknown host yahoo.com

Looks like the problem is that Linux cannot connect to my router .
So what can I do?

@growback: Thanks for your help so far

[growbag]

Hmm, that's not good.

Just to clarify, seeing as nobody has actually explained this to you even after you asked, stickies are posts that have been written by forum members.

They are called stickies because they are static and "stick" to the top of the forum pages.

The user lwfinger is incredibly knowledgeable in the wireless department, maybe follow some of his threads that you can find here:

Wireless - openSUSE Forums

It was suggested that this link was provided earlier, but I must be blind or something as I can see no links that were provided to you in this thread.

If that fails, then I would simply search google for the model of your wireless adapter and see what turns up.

I'm no expert, I'm just trying to help out as you seemed rather lost.

But from the info you provided, it seems to me that you are not connecting to the router properly. Are you using the network manager icon to connect, or did you set the network up through the Yast tool?

Good luck

[Pr0zaxX]

Internet works now.
I switched from NetworkManager to YaST and changed some settings.
But I still don't understand why it did not work with NetworkManager because I have basically the same settings.

Thanks for you help anyway.
