Heron wireless - can ping but no internet

[MickFlan]

your output says that laptop ip is 192.168.0.2 but i didnt see it in your ifconfig output??? please post ifconfig output again.. ping router again.. and post output

Hi

192.168.0.2 is from laptop when in XP. IFCONFIG is from ubuntu, so don't understand what you mean?

So in XP, it looks like the router assigns it an IP okay.

Boot into Ubuntu, and see what

ifconfig wlan0

says. If it doesn't work, try adding the static IP it assigned like this:

sudo ifconfig wlan0 192.168.0.2 up
sudo route add default gw 192.168.0.1

And see if that fixes it.

Thanks - here's the output:

Also, can you confirm that I have my Network Settings correct:
Under Hosts I have:
127.0.0.1 localhost
127.0.1.1 smejltd-laptop.Blades01
and then some others that look like defaults.
Under DNS tab there are no entries.
Under General tab:
Host name: smejltd-laptop
Domain name: (nothing entered)
Under Connections tab:
Wireless connection is ticked with blue mast showing:
Properties:
ESSID Blades01
Password type WEP key (hex)
Network password (entered)
Configuration Static IP address
IP address 192.168.0.1
Subnet mask 255.255.255.0

Thanks again!

Try to set ur DNS to a public DNS server 4.2.2.2 and see if you will be able go on the internet after that.

Thanks. But no change - still get 'page load error' and 'cannot find the host server'.

What is your DNS on the windows side? Try copying in the values.

In XP under Wireless Network Connection Status I've got:
Address Type: Assigned by DHCP (is that the DNS?)
IP Adress 198.162.0.2
Subnet Mask 255.255.255.0
Default Gateway 192.168.0.1
DHCP Server 192.168.0.1

Further info:

When I try to configure the Wireless Interface (wlan0) within Devices - Network Tools, I get a pop-up message saying the interface does not exist. Maybe that's obvious, but didn't I see wlan0 specified when running one of the commands earlier?
