Need help with internet connection

I currently running mandrake 9.1. I have a dlink gateway model di-711 and a dlink dwl-120 usb card. I downloaded the at76c503a driver. The installation went quite well, to my surprise. I edited my cfcfg-wlan0 file like this

 

DEVICE=wlan0

BOOTPROTO=static

IPADDR=192.168.0.104

NETMASK=255.255.255.0

NETWORK=192.168.0.0

BROADCAST=192.168.1.255

ONBOOT=yes

WIRELESS=yes

WIRELESS_MODE=Managed

WIRELESS_ESSID=default

WIRELESS_ENC_KEY=xxx_key_xxxx

 

I typed service network restart, with no error. I can ping my gateway 192.168.0.1 all day long without any packet loss. But I can't connect to the internet. I went into Mandrake Control Center -> Network Internet and I see that I'm not connected to the internet. I clicked the connect button, that didn't work either. Now I'm stumped. Any idea would be appreciated.

try this

route add default gw 192.168.0.1

 

It should work, if it does post back well make it permanant...

 

 

edits,

I just noticed its a WLAN

IF you also have a wired netowrk then first remove the default route

type

route

then if it already has a default through the wired

route del default

then continue the above
