Having trouble getting wlan to work in Fedora Core 4

[Dissipate]

I previously had the Internet working fine in FC4 on my wlan, but since re-installing it, it stopped working. I'm running the prism2 chip on USB. I've installed the linux-wlan drivers from http://www.linux-wlan.org/, I can modprobe prism2_usb, the wlanctl-ng commands work, and the network management tool shows an active connection. In other words I can connect to my wireless router just fine (I even brought up my router's configuration page), but for some reason I cannot access the Internet. Any help is appreciated.

Looks like it's time for an output from ifconfig eth0 to make sure it is configured properly.

Can you ping 4.2.2.2 ?

What about google.com ?

If you can do the first, and not the second then you have a DNS issue. You need to fix /etc/resolv.conf

You can use 4.2.2.2 as a DNS server

nameserver 4.2.2.2
(or any other ip of a working DNS server) needs to go into resolv.conf

I'll try 4.2.2.2. Google.com does not work. Thanks.
