Connection established - NO connection!? -- please respond!

English Network/Internet
#1

Huge problem at the moment:
I am connected to the internet via Wifi (NetworkManager) - and Konqueror tells me I am ONLINE in our local library. They run an open network and users need to log in on a special website to get full internet access. As stated, my computer tells me I would be online, but I don´t have any connection (neither via FF, nor via Konqueror). Same applies when connected via Ethernet. Oh, and I´ve already tried to use and change settings with traditional method with ifup…

Strange: In my own villa everything works perfect.
**
ANY HELP IS VERY MUCH APPRECTIATED. PLEASE DON´T HESITATE!**

If anyone is online… it´s URGENT. :wink:

#3

Hi
Can you provide you credit cards details please :wink: lol

So do you get an IP address? Can you see their access point in the
NetworkManager? You haven’t set a static ip address and it’s not
getting a dhcp one?

Hi malcolmlewis. For my credit card details PM me.

I see EVERYTHING as normal in NetworkManager. I am able to select the AP, it loads, it “connects”. Konqueror states I am online. Then again, when trying to actually call a page, no byte reaches my screen.
I am SURE that IP address is DHCP. Pinging won’t work. Ping google and console states the same as if wifi is completely switched of.

Thanks for helping, bro.

Can you ping an ip number 208.69.34.231 for example but not www.google.com
if so it is not DHCP but you DNS.

Hi
So your not re-directed to a portal for logging in assuming that’s how
it’s meant to go at the library?

Do you get a dns server entry in /etc/resolv.conf and route (netstat
-ar)?

Do you have wireshark installed to do a packet capture?

Thanks for staying with me, baskitcaise and malcolmlewis!

Baskitcaise: Today I’ll be sitting in my University again - probably once more with the same issue. Would you be so friendly and tell me how to fix the configuration IF your above mentioned case would turn out to be true? Maybe everything is perfect afterwards.

Malcolmlewis: Nope, no redirection. I’ll post the output of netstat -ar later. Wireshark is installed, I’ll try to launch a capture when I’m there.

I am back. Issue persist as I´m sitting here. F***.

I´d be happy to hear of possible solutions. As for me, I guess something minor needs to be configured differently. Throw it! :slight_smile:

Thanks for your effort, but I’ve been notified before. You know… I’m working here. :wink:
All other users are able to use the network with their laptops. I guess something isn’t right with my configuration due to the fact that I can connect, but don’t receive a single byte.
I’d be happy to receive some further suggestions though.

#11

Hi
Just making sure :wink: Thought you were visiting though :slight_smile:

So you get an ipaddress, what about dns entries in /etc/resolv.conf.

Can you check another users entries (winipcfg or from a dos
box ipconfig /all on windows machines) for DNS and gateway.

I’m wondering if you are using kde4-networkmanager or the one for kde3. It shouldn’t be an issue but my curiosity would have me try the kde3 version if you are not using it.
I actually still use it all the time.

#13

resolf.conf:


# Generated by dhcpcd for interface ath1
nameserver 192.168.1.1

For sure a very small file…

#14

…and hey caf, it looks like Networkmanager packages are outdated. Several are marked red. No NetworkManager for KDE4 installed - just KDE. Is an upgrade key? :wink:

#15

If you are using networkmanager-kde, then you really should be fine. Red packages mean a roll back. But you may have some inconsistency in your repo’s with priority.

zypper lr --details

we can have a look.

But it’s unlikely that this current update/roll-back thing is the issue.
T.B.H; It’s most likely a config issue.
But I have never used a connection in a public place so I’m a little out of the water.

#16

Hi
If you can’t find someone to tell you the local DNS entries, add via
YaST the openDNS ones.

nameserver 208.67.222.222
nameserver 208.67.220.220

If you run wireshark do you see any activity from the LAN?
