    No wifi with linux using SONY VAIO PCG-3F1M

    I just installed Ubuntu 10.10 on a Sony Vaio PCG-3F1M and I couldn't get it connected to Wifi Internet . It worked fine under vista. The Wireless driver light was on and I could pick the network, I got the message 'established connection' but no internet at all. Any help? Thanks in advance.

    I can be found either 40 miles west of Chicago, or in a galaxy far, far away.

    So, you got a connection to the access point, but no internet access? Chances are your DNS settings are incorrect. How did you configure your wireless network? Is it using WEP or WPA security? What is the output of the command (from a command-line): /sbin/ifconfig -a

    The wireless network is using WPA2. This is what I got from /sbin/ifconfig -a



    Code:

          RX bytes:0 (0.0 B)  TX bytes:0 (0.0 B) 
          Interrupt:16

    Thank you very much! Please let me know if anything else is needed.

    Ok. You are connected. Now, post the output from the command "/sbin/route". It should show the default gateway address, which would be your router. Also, post the contents of the /etc/resolv.conf file.

    This is what I get:

    Kernel IP routing table

    Destination Gateway Genmask Flags Metric Ref Use Iface

    192.168.2.0 * 255.255.255.0 U 2 0 0 wlan0

    link-local * 255.255.0.0 U 1000 0 0 wlan0

    default 192.168.2.1 0.0.0.0 UG 0 0 0 wlan0



    /etc/resolv.conf
    # Generated by NetworkManager
    domain Belkin
    search Belkin
    nameserver 194.179.1.100
    nameserver 194.179.1.101
    ~

    Thanks for your help

    Ok. Try to comment out the first two lines of /etc/resolv.conf, the lines that don't start with "nameserver".

    BTW, where are you located? Just curious.
