WiFi connection but no Internet since upgrades

English Network/Internet

Hi All,

I’ve had trouble-free wireless and internet until SUSE updates a few weeks ago. After that, although I could connect to the router, I’ve had no internet connection.

I initially rebooted the router, turned off the firewall etc but to no avail. Since then I’ve managed to connect to a different wireless network at a friends house and get connection with no problem.

Last night I re-configured my router, new SSID, now using WPA instead of the original WEP but still the same outcome.

I can successfully ping both IP addresses and names beyond my gateway. I’m running out of ideas and wonder if anyone can help.

Give more information, please.

I would advise you to test the script i mentioned in the third post.

If the suggestions of the script don’t help you, upload the script to a nopaste-service and link it here.

Erm, this should be “upload the output-file of the script” of course.

Thanks for your post Akoellh,

I ran collectNWData.sh which highlighted a couple of potential issues, one of which was having IPV6 enabled. This was also mentioned in Iwfinger’s troubleshooting guide. A simple disable via Yast -> Network Settings -> Global Options did the trick.

Thanks for you help, much appreciated.
