I don't like problems which manifest and fix themselves automatically. It shows a lack of control and understanding on my/your part. > Here's the thing.

Change wifi router's LAN IP to 192.168.1.2. Your Linux system is probably using WiFi router's ARP entry so it's unable to reach the web. Windows computers are using ARP entry of your DSL modem and are able to get online. Clean up your IP addresses. Use the following scheme: 192.168.1.1-9 for network appliances (DSL/Wifi router, switches, VPN server) 192.168.1.10-19 for network printers, scanners, etc 192.168.1.20-49 for servers 192.168.1.50-99 for static IP assignment 192.168.1.100-199 for DHCP assignment 192.168.1.250-254 for testing/temporary assignment If you have 2 DHCP servers, split the DHCP scope accordingly eg. 192.168.100-149 on DHCP server 1 and rest on the other DHCP server. But ensure default gateway assignment is always set correctly to 192.168.1.1. - Raja _______________________________________________ ILUGC Mailing List: http://www.ae.iitm.ac.in/mailman/listinfo/ilugc
