Destination Host Unreachable
Hello:
When trying to connect wirelessly to a Linksys router with IP address
192.168.1.1, ifup brings up the interface, ifconfig reports its
configuration correctly, iwconfig reports the hardware (MAC) address of
the router correctly, but pinging the router returns "Destination Host
Unreachable" (DHU) and 'arp -a' reports <incomplete> where the
MAC address should be. A hardwired interface gets the MAC
address, and I'm writing this from another wireless laptop connected to
the same wireless router (although this one has a static address and
the other gets it by DHCP). I've tried relocating the laptop
(right now it's next to the one which is connected), giving it a static
address, setting the MAC address with arp (at which ping just hangs
instead of reporting DHU), none of which has helped. The laptop
is able to connect to a wireless network where I work. Any
pointers would be much appreciated.
This is all happening on a recently updated testing system with a 2.6.21 kernel.
