Firefox & Network Settings

English Network/Internet

Can anyone give me a decent guide as to how to setup my Network Settings along with Firefox? I’ve established a connection using WiFi Radar but I still can’t get anything coming through. I’ve checked my router settings and it’s certainly been logged / connected. I’ve also tried using Seamonkey as a browser but I’ve had no luck with it’s settings either. Any ideas?
Thanks again to Deltaflyer44.

things to check:-

1 ) firewall is set to external on the device
2 ) check your routing
3 ) try pinging a site,e.g. ping -c4 Google see what happens

I can’t get the ping to work (just says it’s not a recognised address) but I haven’t made any settings for the Routing option. Should I?

edit: I tried the ping for the router and I got ‘Network is unreachable’.

GRRR! darned forum,for ping try

ping -c4 www.google.com

Also, type ifconfig & post the results, same for iwconfig

I really am confused on this one. When checking Network Tools, it shows a wireless connection along with link speed, IP, Netmask, Broardcast etc. I have logged into the hub (using my laptop) and I can see it’s connected to it also.

I think it’s a case of some setting or something similar (either on the hub or pc) that will set everything right. Well, I hope so!?

Here is my iwfonfig, ifconfig & dmesg:

Do I need to setup the Default Gateway? Routing Table? Host Name / Domain Name? I’m so close to getting it to work!

Do I need to setup my DSL setting in the Control Centre?

8

Another thought! What about the systems Proxy settings?

Thanks guys. Any help and advice would be really appreciated. I’m loving openSUSE 11 now (apart from the internet). I’ll certainly be staying with it now!

Everything looks ok, from those settings,you even have an i.p. address.baffling how you can’t get to internet. Have you tried changing the channel on the router ? As for proxy, you shouldn’t need to use that with the hub. You could also try setting the default gateway as the hub’s i.p. see if that helps

You can see my problem. I just don’t get it!? I’ll try that later and see how it goes.

Again, no such luck. I just don’t get it!? I called a good mate (who has just finished his masters in information security) and I told him what I’ve done so far. He was confused as the Network Tool shows that packets are being sent and received (whenever I update the settings) as well as doing a ping of the ip address of the hub. It even shows up and tells me it’s a BTHomeHub!?

There is obviously a connection and data is being sent, but I can’t quite understand why nothing I’ve tired so far hasn’t worked. Now I’m just trying every setting to get it to work!

Help!

Can you show the result of following commands?
#route -n
#cat /etc/resolv.conf
