Can't connect to internet (although ping&traceroute possible)

[mslo]

Hello all,
I have kind of strange problem with my WL-500gP. Although the configuration is still the same, since today I can't connect to Internet. The weirdest thing is that I can ping whatever site I want, as well as traceroute and nslookup. To sum it up:


I can ping a server in the Internet
I can traceroute a server in the Internet
I can ping another computer connected to the LAN via Wifi
I can connect to the router's web UI
I can't view any website
I can't use neither ICQ nor Skype


Here are the LAN and WAN settings:
WAN: Automatic IP, Automatic DNS, subnet mask 255.255.0.0
LAN: router IP 192.168.1.1, DHCP on (192.168.1.2 - 192.168.1.10)

I can provide more info if required.
I am really confused with this, I have searched through this whole forum, but no relevant posts. Please help

hey, just to brainstorm with you...

since you haven't changed the config.

perhaps something is wrong with your:
- Internet provider?
- adsl / cable modem? or does everything work when u directly connect your computer to your internet modem?

- have your tried to restart the router (wl500gP)?
- what firmware do you have? oleg or the original Asus?

Hello,

do you use your asus as a router, or just as a client?, if you use it as a client the dns thing is not working, you can check this by ping-ing outside.

When you try to ping outside and it works on ip-address, but not on name
you have to add a nameserver to the resolv.conf file.
(Thinking that you use oleg's firmware)


If you cannot ping on name, but you can ping on ip-address you have to add a nameserver to resolf.conf

example:


echo "nameserver IP.OF.DNS.SERVER" > /etc/resolv.conf
(taken from several tutotials like Marcnesium, Wengi etc.)


Run the command above, if you can ping on name now, you should add this line to your post-boot script.

Good luck!
