Subject: WiFi LAN access, but not WAN access.
On FC8 with my dual boot laptop, in the process of testing
wpa_supplicant with my Actiontec router, I had a situation
in which I could ping within my LAN, but but not the WAN.
Other boxes on my LAN, had no problem contacting the WAN.
So I shut of the encryption, and made unencrypted WiFi
contact. Still, I could contact the LAN but not the WAN.
Then I made a wired Ethernet connection from the test
laptop. In that case, everything worked for WAN and LAN.
Then I went back to wireless. It all worked, with and
without encryption.
So I am living happily ever after, but I fear I may be in
a fool's paradise. Any suggestions?
Thanks,
Mike.

What is your dhcp settings for the wifi? Same as lan? Also check route settings- is the
gateway correct for wifi? I had to set my dhclient to supersede gateway so that I had wan
access on both lan and wlan.
Hope that helps- maybe. Any further info (inc. vague topology) and or config might help to
work out your sit.
