Strange wireless problem...

[oniq]

Ok, heres my setup. I've got a D-Link Airplus 614+ Access Point/router, with WEP off (at the moment, working on setting at least 64bit up on my home wireless network). When connected via ethernet I can ping other computers internally, but if I go the wireless route, I cannot ping any of my computers connected internally other than the router itself. This is frustrating as it seems the router is not allowing me to see the other computers on the network. So now my PC with all my mp3s isn't accessible to my laptop, which was the whole point in me setting up wireless (other than being able to read/post on AT ). I'm running Gentoo Linux on my laptop with a D-Link DWL-650 card if thats of any help.

If anyone can help me out, I'd greatly appreciate it.

It would help if you posted the output of ifconfig -a and netstat -ar along with the address(s) your trying to ping.

Anyone?

I figured it out..

Thought about it, and tried to see the differences between the outputs when wired and then when not. Noticed when wired, wlan0 wasn't in the netstat (for obvious reasons), but when wireless wlan0 AND eth0 were routed. Tada, the solution. Thanks!

Had to turn off eth0 (ifconfig eth0 down). Works now.
