Hi Prashanth, already my eth0 has been configured for the ethernet/LAN connection.
when I'm on a wireless network i.e. eth1, my eth0 remains inactive. the point here is: The driver & firmware modules for eth1 (ipw2200) were successfully loaded. wireless network has been detected after giving the commands: # iwconfig eth1 essid [SSID] key open [encryption key] I've manually set my IP, subnet mask, default gateway & primary DNS details. Now I should in an ideal case be able to ping to my gateway/router IP address now that the wireless connection on eth1 is activated. I cant access my router configuration through the browser as its home page doesnt show up when I give the router IP in the address bar of the browser. question is, if the connection is active why such problem occurs?
