Hardware conflict?

[acepedobe]

FC3 kernel 2.6.10-1.766_FC3
Laptop with Conceptronic c54rc network card
Working fine with WXP
Driver used in FC3: rt2500-1.1.0
Ping to host working OK (# ping 192.168.1.105)
Ping to router not working (# ping 192.168.1.254 ----> Destination Host Unreachable)
Native card in laptop "eth0" working OK.
Problem still present even when deactivating "eth0".
Already tried other kernels showing identical problem
Already worked on routing tables.

I would appreciate any suggestions to fix this problem. I am thinking of a hardware conflict, but do not know how to verify this point.
I would appreciate any help coming from you.

Tnaks.

Check your router settings and see if DHCP is enabled, if not, enable it.

Thank you for your answer.
Other networked computers are working well, so I suppose the router settings are OK. Even more, the other network card in my laptop, when using identical settings, is working OK.
I want to assign static addresses. Anyway, when using DHCP the wireless card hangs (there is no way to contact the router).

Thank you very much rega451.

Hi Acepedobe!

. . . the other network card in my laptop, when using identical settings, is working OK.
. . . when using DHCP
. . . the wireless card hangs.
Thanks for your private email saying that you still have this problem. I am a relative newby, aswell, but I have banged my head against similar problems. My ideas for now:
- Use the search facilities for "Destination Host Unreachable", and key words like: Wireless, DHCP, dhclient, etc. Searching shows up many similar problems and solutions, incuding places to find hardware compatability lists.
- You indicate that everything works with the "Native card" in eth0, also without DHCP. So it appears that your problem is localised to your new wireless card. Check with root commands "dmesg | grep PCI", "lspci", "dmesg | grep driver", and read "vi /etc/sysconfig/hwconf", to check that the hardware and resources are successfully allocated. Is the system loading the correct driver? . . and analyse hardware compatability lists.

Happy searching! ;)
