HI
im new to linux.i have a adsl modem connected to my router,and everything works fine in windows and i can browse internet. but in linux i install the rt61 driver (my wlan adaptor is dlink G510 rev C) as it is described in driver readme.i scan for wireless networks in terminal and it finds my router.i set a static ip and default gateway and subnet mask the same as i have in windows using yast and i check it in my adaptor file everything is ok.i have the network icon on the taskbar and when i click on it it finds my router and list it. i click on the router SSID to connect to it it tries and then just nothing happens… wheres the problem guys plz help. thanks

Have you read the stickies? In particular, do you have WEP encryption?
Does your router not have DHCP built in, or is there some other reason
that you are using a static IP? In general, getting all the parts
right is much more difficult with static IPs.

what do you mean by stickies sorry i cant understand.about encryption no i dont have its an open network but filtered with MAC addresses.my router has dhcp but i dont use it. there are 5 machines in our house.they all have windows installed on them. i use static ip s in windows and just dont have any problems.cant understand whats the problem with linux.it seems everythings right but it just wont connect to the router.what else should i configure for static ip ? ive set IP , SUBMASK , GATEWAY . what else do i need .

The stickies are found at the start of this forum.
When you configure a static IP, you need to assign the IP, the routine
tables and the proper resolv.conf. If you have not done this, you need to.
what should i enter in routing table?im not very proffesional in network. and what is the resolv.conf??how can i configure it??

Let me rephrase your question into a statement. “I’m too stubborn to
use DHCP and too stupid to do my own research.”
If you insist, you are on your own.
I tried the DHCP too. i get nothing. dont know why…its not just connecting to my Router.I cant create and connect to a network that i create it.its too strange…

First of all, please run the commands below and post the output:

sudo /usr/sbin/iwlist scan

Everything looks normal. From the iwconfig output, your wireless device has associated
with the access point. At this point you just need to finish the configuration. If you
really want to use a static IP, you will need to supply the DNS server addresses and the
gateway address, either with YaST if you use the traditional ifup method, or with the
KNetworkManager applet if you control your network with NM.
No, I do not know the values you need to fill in. Those details are the main reason that
DHCP was invented.
I have suse desktop enterprise 10 SP1 by the way.is it diffrent from opensuse??
hey i know the DNS the gateway netmask , and ip. i just dont see my device in yast adapters list.
