I just got Verizon's fios and love the high bandwidth. But I can't get |
| 2 |
my gentoo laptop fully connected through a wireless connection. Has |
| 3 |
anyone been through this already? Here are the highlights: |
| 4 |
|
| 5 |
- I'm using a Verizon supplied an Actiontec router which includes |
| 6 |
wireless and seems to be a pretty nice linux based router. |
| 7 |
|
| 8 |
- a Nintendo Wii makes a wireless connection and accesses internet sites |
| 9 |
fine, so the Verizon-provided Actiontec router seems to be set up ok. |
| 10 |
|
| 11 |
- the gentoo laptop requests (via "dhcpcd eth1") and receives an ip |
| 12 |
address from the router's WAP. I thought I'd be home free at this |
| 13 |
point, but not so. |
| 14 |
|
| 15 |
- using wireshark to watch a "ping 192.168.1.1" I can see a 192.168.1.1 |
| 16 |
ARP packet tell the laptop its mac address, then the laptop starts to |
| 17 |
send out a ICMP echo requests...and gets no response. Firewall settings |
| 18 |
in the router are at the minimal setting for this test. |
| 19 |
|
| 20 |
- my laptop connects fine to my neighbor's WAP and reaches the internet. |
| 21 |
So if it weren't for the Wii successfully connecting and getting out |
| 22 |
I'd say the firewall is to blame. I get the same symptoms trying to |
| 23 |
access web sites or even https://192.168.1.1 which is set up for this |
| 24 |
test to allow me to administer via wireless. |
| 25 |

| 33 |
|

I'm stumped at the moment and hope someone sees what I'm missing. |
| 35 |
Thanks very much for any ideas. |
