Correct IP address from router, no internet connection

I setup a network with four PCs. Three of the PCs are connected directly to the router, and one is connected wirelessly. The three PCs wired in are working just fine, but the wireless one is not. When I first set up the connection, I had an internet connection, and suddenly it stopped, and I have not been able to get it back.
I disconnected and reconnected the wireless connnection, and I couldnt get an IP address. I disabled the firewall, and then I was able to get an address (192.168.1.112), but no internet connection (limited or no connectivity). In testing the connection, I was able to ping to the IP successfully, but in pinging from the bad PC, i was not able to get a response. So i think the adapter is sending signals, but not receiving them from the router, hence no internet.
Is there something simple that I am overlooking? Any ideas??

Sorry, this isn't the answer, but I have the same problem, but with a Mac.
We have an old Sony Vaio, an older Mac Powerbook G4 17", and a new MacBook 15". The Viao and Macbook have no problems but my 17" can only connect to the internet hardwired. Wireless, I can only get to the router, but not past it? What gives?
We have the WRT54GL (fw: 4.30.0), which replaced our old (wireless) BEFSR41 which had an Airport hooked up for wireless. That setup worked great. My 17" is running OS 10.4.7 and has the lastest firmwares.

Hi,
WIFI stopped working after I woke the computer up, now says connected to the network but not the internet, all other coputers and devices connected still with no problems, have pinged IP address from router and got the message "4 packets sent none received"... Help
I have tried network diagnostics which doesnt help... The only other ting is, when I woke the computer up it said tat another device was using my IP... My wife had plugged her phone into the computer to charge etc but even when i turn wifi off on the phone there is no change... also in settings on the phone the IP address is different...

The answer to your question is - neither!
Your PC should to configured to obtain an IP address automatically, and to obtain DNS server IP addresses automatically, from the Airport Express. This is the way Windows (and Macs for that matter) are configued by default, and that is the way most people have their computers set up. If you manually configured your PC's IP address to be the same as your wife's Mac, it certainly explains why your PC is not able to access the internet.

My WRT54G v5 router loses internet connection frequently

My WRT54G v5 router loses internet connection frequently. Sometimes occurs when you enter a web or sometimes every few minutes, but without a pattern. I have W XP Pro with SP3 and I have a pc wired to the router and sometimes 2 notebook with Wi-Fi. What could be the problem?. Thank you very much.

I have upgraded the firmware to v 1.02.8 and reduced the MTU to 1350 but after a few minutes of doing that I had the same problem... The router reboots itself, again and again and again...
It's possible to run some diagnostic utility that somebody can check ??
It's possible it would be a router failure ??
I note that sometimes is ok and when Entering some web pages the router reboots itself and I loose my internet connection, but others, the router reboots for no apparent reason...
I dont know what to do...

Internet connection problem- IP address from router, but will not connect

My Powerbook will connect to an open wireless network where I am and is assigned an appropriate IP address, but neither Mail nor Safari will connect properly. I know the system is working, because other people with wireless laptops can connect fine. I tried quitting everything and rebooting a number of times but no joy. I can't see anything in the settings that I can play with that will make a difference, but I can't understand why it won't connect.Very frustrating. Network diagnostics can't help either. I don't have access to the modem/router to reset it...

I'm having the same problem. I'm traveling and I was able to connect to the wireless network on my G4 Powerbook at the hotel this morning. Now I'm in a different location and I have a strong open wifi signal, but no internet connection. I can add that I also brought my iBook and it works fine on this network. Both worked just fine on this network back in October. I've tried in no particular order: rebooting (4x), Network Diagnostics in Safari ("N.D. cannot fix the current networking problems...make sure you are using the correct network settings"), creating a new user, comparing Network settings between the two Macs (the only difference is the last 3 digits of the IP assigned using DHCP), deleting preferences (airport, internetconnect, & networkConfig.plists, NetworkInterfaces & SystemConfiguration.plists), turning Airport off then back on, and setting up the iBook to share its internet connection. Internet Connect says that I'm connected to the network and have a full signal. Any other ideas?

WRT54G3G-ST router - no internet connection - can't reset router

Hello. Definite longer story definitely not short (I apologize for the rambling length... I don't know what is and isn't important, so scan at will, please... I am sorry...): Recently my computer (Dell XPS 400, Windows XP Service Pack 3, Internet Explorer 7 with phishing filter and pop-up blocker on, SiteAdvisor, up-to-date McAfee Virus Scanner and Firewall, and a Linksys Wireless-G WRT54G3G-ST router with its power adapter plugged into the wall electrical outlet and a network cable from it directly connected to my computer.) got a drive-by Generic.dx trojan without me downloading anything from one of the few sites I visit daily. My internet connection crawled, and I now have no connection at all.
I've been getting help from McAfee forums very helpful and quick good volunteers... They recommended Malwarebytes Anti-Malware to me, which I downloaded from my second clean computer (a laptop) to my flash drive, then to my infected computer. I ran it, tried updating it as recommended, and only then discovered the trojan killed my broadband entirely. I scanned with it anyway, and it quickly found and removed/quarantined 11 Adware.MyWebSearch related files, but nothing else. They then gave me a link to an offline updater patch file, and told me scan in safe mode until nothing else was found and check if it fixed my lack of broadband access. Which I did, Malwarebytes found nothing else, but unfortunately I still had no broadband.
Next, they recommended WinsockXPFix. Which I ran and it made all its registry changes OK, I rebooted as required but still no broadband unfortunately. Did using WinsockXPFix make things worse for me with the registry changes it made? I used its registry backup to save the pre-changed registry files prior to running. Should I revert back since I still have no broadband connection? The McAfee volunteers then kindly told me I needed to hard reset the router, though I've tried countless times with no fortune. I'm at a definite loss as to what, if anything, I can do to hopefully get my broadband back, please...
It's very confusing with the numerous different variations to reset routers, and what I need to do for my router model (Variations: Unplug this cable/adapter exactly where, or not; hold the reset button between 5-30 seconds; rebooting the computer, or not; waiting 1 or 2 minutes between various steps, or not - and for all of these at what exact point in the reset process.).
I reset it once before with the reset button, routers page at http://192.168.1.1, default admin password, then changed it for security, etc; but this time I can't get it to work. I'm happy as can be to try again, to get a walk-through maybe, anything please... When I go to http://192.168.1.1 now, or any other address, Internet Explorer gripes at me that I'm offline, which is annoyingly correct. I don't have, and never had Zone Alarm, but disabling my McAfee Firewall doesn't help. IPCONFIG at the Command Prompt gives me a Windows assigned address of 169.254.X.X
I was going to use the routers Setup Wizard CD to try to reset the router, and if that failed to try to get its firmware version number to maybe upgrade. But I was going to ask here first for expert advice since I've read many things that can go wrong while upgrading firmware. However, scanning the CD (Without running the CD.) McAfee found the virus W32/HLLP.Philis.ini in the file "D:\_desktop.ini" on the CD. McAfee didn't delete the file, I don't know why.
   I scanned my entire computer several times and no infections were reported. I uploaded the file several times to both www.virustotal.com (39 online virus scanners), and virusscan.jotti.org (20 online virus scanners) and every time every virus scanner reported no possible infections. Is my up-to-date McAfee virus scanner reporting a false positive and yet Jotti and Virustotal's 2 McAfee scanners report the file as probable clean? Is "_desktop.ini" a legitimate Linksys file? I found no information on Linksys/its forums about it. My problems just keep multiplying...mentioning of more problems...
Finding that suspect file on the CD I decided to instead download the Setup Wizard from Linksys
(Router product page: http://www.linksysbycisco.com/US/en/support/WRT54G3G-ST/download
Actual file: http://downloads.linksysbycisco.com/downloads/WRT54G3G-ST_SetupWizard_4_2_06042008.zip)
to my flash drive, then to my infected computer that is connected to the router. I ran it (Downloaded file version: 4.2.0.007 - Original CD Setup Wizard version: 4.0 printed on CD front.) and it immediately gave 1 of 3 options: Mobile Broadband Only, Broadband WAN Only, or Broadband WAN and Mobile Broadband. I don't know what damage, if any, I caused by continuing.
   It looked like it was trying to go through the entire router setup process. I thought it would take me to some options to reset the router, as I've read in the User Guide and elsewhere - that was my understanding. The setup process stopped at only 30% done "Router not found, please make sure the router is properly connected and try again." How much overwriting of original router setup files did I do by continuing? I'm entirely confused. Doesn't the Wizard check if the router has been previously setup prior to setting it up again? Did the version difference cause my router to not be detected by the Setup Wizard? Did the Generic.dx trojan that killed my broadband trash my computer settings so bad that my router is undetectable/essentially not setup?
Update of sorts: I tried one last time to reset the router, and I unplugged/plugged the network cable. Doing that I still had no broadband on my main usage Dell XPS computer that's connected to the Linksys router. However, my laptop, with Data Card in the router, was for the first time able to find the network - the constant connection and speed is brilliant, it's what it allways has been on the laptop (Since the trojan/router problems, my laptop only had broadband with the Data Card in the laptop.). Maybe the network cable simply wasn't re-connected properly/entirely during 1 of the many reset attempts, it indeed could also explain the downloaded Setup Wizard not being able to find the router/only getting 30% done.
Laptop Command Prompt IPCONFIG /ALL with Sprint Data Card inserted in laptop computer slot:
IP Address    = 174.158.XX.XXX (Sprint)
Subnet Mask = 255.255.255.255
DNS Servers = 68.28.90.91
                         68.28.82.91
Laptop Command Prompt IPCONFIG /ALL with Sprint Data Card inserted in router:
IP Address    = 192.168.1.1XX
Subnet Mask = 255.255.255.0
Default Gateway = 192.168.1.1
DHCP Server      = 192.168.1.1
DNS Servers      = 192.168.1.1
Since my laptop started working with the Data Card in the router I haven't tried again to reset the router, nor have I tried the downloaded Setup Wizard. I don't want to mess anything up further than I have(?) / the trojan has, and I need some expert advice, please, as to which of the 2 if either I should do (first?). On my laptop computer only, typing http://192.168.1.1 in Internet Explorer gets the pop-up for username and password, but I haven't proceeded. I've read you shouldn't reset the router and/or(? Is it both or just 1 please?) upgrade the firmware unless the computer is directly connected to the router - which my laptop is not. On my other computer that still has no broadband, Internet Explorer still tells me I'm offline when typing http://192.168.1.1 into it. My IP Address on it is still a Windows assigned 169.254.X.X and a Command Prompt PING 192.168.1.1 returns with "Destination host unreachable.", as it allways has and same with all other addresses (Except for 169.254.X.X).
Annoying 2nd "update" of sorts, apologies for length, as allways: I've been so focused on the trojan/broadband killing that I've cluelessly largely forgot that I have dial-up with AOL. Trying AOL dial-up also does not work, the insanity thickens... AOL software tells me to check my connection, but all phone cords are plugged in as should be. I plugged a phone directly into the wall outlet and I get a dial tone, I can call out OK, and the phone rings and gets calls OK. Device Manager-Modems-Properties-Device Status says the modem is working properly, and Resources Tab shows no conflicts. Diagnostics Tab's Query Modem looks OK to me, as does the log, but as allways I'm definitely no expert. I didn't change any settings anywhere.
   I have noticed off and on that checking IPCONFIG it says my IP Address is 192.168.1.100   It lasts maybe a day (then goes back to 169.254.X.X), maybe longer, I don't know - I don't check that often to pin it down (Should I?). During this time neither my broadband, nor my dial-up works. I can PING 192.168.1.100, but nothing else. I'm convinced the evil trojan killed both my broadband and dial-up - I've never had a problem with my Conexant D850 56K V.9x DFVc Modem prior. Also, I'm not convinced the trojan is not still lurking everywhere on my computer, I think it is...
Any and all help in restoring my broadband/dial-up is greatly appreciated, please... Thank you!
Solved!

Hello. It's been entirely too long since I've replied, I'm sorry. There's no excuse, and it's terribly rude of me... You took the time to read and reply to me, and I endlessly appreciate that indeed. I apologize for my long delay, I'm sorry...
After I left my message I downloaded many virus/spyware scanners, etc. from my laptop onto my flash drive, then my other computer for some needed thorough deep scans. One that I downloaded was Network Magic, which somehow, someway fixed both my broadband/dial-up internet on my main computer that's connected to the WRT54G3G-ST router. I don't know what/how it repaired my connection, but the broadband connection/speed has been working brilliantly since... Network Magic worked for me, and I highly recommend it to everyone who has stubborn complete lack of internet problems (caused by trojans at that) as I did. There's no guarantee it'll work, but it did for me to my amazement.
Network Magic, as is Linksys, is owned by parent company Cisco. Respectfully to all the good knowledgeable experts here (Which clearly I am not.), I don't want to tread out of my bounds. I'm simply trying hopefully to be helpful and save some headaches for both you the volunteers and the users...buying a new router and/or computer was on my mind, with all due respect I recommend suggesting to try Network Magic to users if resetting the router/all else fails, please. I did use WinsockXPFix/WinsockFix utility prior to using Network Magic, I don't know if that matters.
I also upgraded my McAfee package, I installed over my old software instead of uninstalling first, which caused errors in the virus scanner of all critically needed things. I have it installed properly now, but it did cause quite a delay in re-focus of my time. Some of the virus scans also found many trojans, some were the same/in the same folders that killed my broadband - which stopped me in my tracks to insure uninfected cleaning.
That definitely doesn't entirely explain the long lapse of time, and I apologize for that, again. It's just that I'm trying to be cautious and slow in all this. To answer the first very good idea you made: Unfortunately, there's no place on my other computer to plug the router in to, which all the more so caused frustration (at the time). I forgot to include this in my novel length post of countless things to check/remember... It was a brilliant idea though, thank you...
I thank you for your time and help, I do sincerely appreciate it... Thank you... I think, and hope this matter is solved. It seems to be, the router is working perfectly as it allways has, and I'm positively happy as can be about it. Thank you... Peace...

Cisco 3725 Router for Internet Connectivity

Hi,
We have en existing Internet connection using our Cisco 3725 router (ISP A). The router does the NAT and here's the existing default route:
S* 0.0.0.0/0 [1/0] via 1.2.3.153
This router has a "16 Port 10BaseT/100BaseTX EtherSwitch".
Now we have a new Internet connection (ISP B). What I did was to configure two ports on the Etherswitch and added route maps:
interface FastEthernet1/0
description "ISP B to provider"
no switchport
ip address 4.5.6.66 255.255.255.252
interface FastEthernet1/1
description "ISP B to my network"
no switchport
ip address 4.5.7.225 255.255.255.248
ip policy route-map ISPBInternetTraffic
access-list 101 permit ip 4.5.7.224 0.0.0.7 any
route-map ISPBInternetTraffic permit 101
match ip address 101
set interface FastEthernet1/0
set ip default next-hop 4.5.6.65
What I want to happen is that when the router sees the traffic coming from the public IPs of ISP B (4.5.7.224 /29) it will direct that to go out ISP B on F1/0.
1. Is my configuration correct?
2. Any suggestions, recommendations?
3. Can I do load balancing or load sharing between the two ISPs?
Best,
Tony

Hi Tony,
Your question has already been answered here: http://forum.cisco.com/eforum/servlet/NetProf?page=netprof&forum=Network%20Infrastructure&topic=WAN%2C%20Routing%20and%20Switching&topicID=.ee71a06&fromOutline=&CommCmd=MB%3Fcmd%3Ddisplay_location%26location%3D.2cd276a5

Enable responses from 2 separate internet connections on the same system

Hello List
I am hoping one of the network gurus here can help me out. I've spent quite a few hours trawling these forums and others online to try to find the answer to my question, but success has not been forthcoming.
My situation is this. I have a system that functions as a server that is connected to two separate internet connections. The G5 tower is hooked up to each via Ethernet. Each connection has a manually configured connection with a fixed IP. The gateways for each are using different IP ranges, the IP for en0 is 10.0.1.59 and en2's IP is 192.168.1.145. They each have different gateways configured as well, 10.0.1.1 and 192.168.1.1 respectively. 192.168.1.145 is the DMZ system for that internet connection. Here is the default entry in the system's routing table:
Destination Gateway Flags Refs Use Netif Expire
default 10.0.1.1 UGSc 4 8 en0
I need both interfaces to reply to requests to their public IPs backthrough the correct gateway and not the default gateway. This is because of bandwidth constraints and the need to perform nightly backups of substantial amounts of data from our business hour VOIP connection, but allow the existing default gateway to remain first in the network service order list.
I have thus far tried the following based on what I could learn from this and other forums across the Web. I have enabled forwarding with the following command:
sudo sysctl -w net.inet.ip.forwarding=1
Then I have applied a fwd rule to ipfw that purports to route requests made to the en2 local address back through the correct gateway:
sudo ipfw add fwd 192.168.1.1 ip from 192.168.1.145 to not 192.168.1.145 out
However, this does not work and there is no response from en2 gateway when trying to access the system from that gateway's public IP.
Can anyone see something obvious that I'm missing or point me at an online resource that will let me figure out how to get this working?
Many thanks in advance.

I sounds like what you need is a static route to the IP address of whatever is on the other end of the Retrospect request. The command would look something like this:
sudo route -n add -host host_address -gateway router_address
where host_address is the IP address of whatever the Retrospect request is going to, and router_address is the gateway you want it to go out of.
A caveat here is that the route entry does not survive a reboot, so you'd want to create a startup item, or preferably a launch daemon to do this for you automatically on startup.

Not receiving temp IPv6 address from router

I have spent the day trying to get IPv6 internet connectivity working in Arch and Im failing. No matter what I do my Arch install just isnt receiving and ipv6 temp address. If I use the exact same system but boot into another OS i automatically get an IPv6 temp address and can ping 1pv6.google.com .
If there is anything that might prevent this networking function from working Id appreciate to know what it could be. Thanks a lot.

I wont consider this solved until auto config works but in the mean time I have an ugly work around. I created a profile for eth0 to come up at 0.0.0.0 and I got static ipv6 working in my bridge like this

WRTU54G-TM router loses internet connection and needs to be restarted to regain connection.

We recently switched from a WRT54G to a WRTU54G-TM router from T-mobile and the new router seems to randomly lose our internet connection and needs to be restarted to regain it. It could be coincidence but this has happened a couple of times immediately after using our VoIP phone connected to it. I tried switching back to the old router and everything worked fine once again. Typically with the WRTU54G-TM it will stay connected for about a day or so and then it will need to be restarted. Although sometimes it will need to be restarted multiple times in one day. Just curious if anyone had any quick suggestions or setting configurations that I may have missed?
Thanks for your input.
Rylynn

I just added the T-Mobile@Home service and set up a WRTU54G-TM this past Saturday. During the first 4 days, the blue light on the router went out and I lost phone service - until rebooting the router each time. Phone service returned about a minute after rebooting in each case.
I did NOT lose Internet service while phone service was down.
I reached T-Mobile customer care the second time, and the rep I spoke with mentioned that she had a couple of other calls similar to mine earlier in the day. So far, the reps had no official word regarding this problem, and the word going around was simply to tell people to reboot their routers.
Tech Support had about a 20 minute hold queue, so I didn't yet to speak with a technician.
The phone service has been up for the past 2 days -- curious to see how long it holds up this time. Also checking the Linksys site regularly to see if new firmware (beyond the 1.00.04 I have loaded) becomes available - maybe that will address the problem.
When I complained to customer care, the one thing they did was to extend my "buyer's remorse period" to 30 days (instead of the usual 14). So I plan to hang on for another couple of weeks to see if this gets straightened out. I love the service, sound quality and price. Hoping it works out - I want to keep this!

On iOS 6.0 how can I Airplay to AppleTV using router without internet connection.

Hello,
I do a lot of presentations. I recently updated my iPad to iOS 6.0. In the past on iOS 5 I used an iPad, AppleTV, router, and projector for presentations. Now when I connect the iOS iPad to the router it requires the router to be connected to the internet so the iPad can connect. Iam often presenting at places that do not have internet so this is an issue. Is there anyway around this? I have done some testing and it appears that the iPad has to authennticate to Apple everytime it wants to connect to the internet.

You cannot use your iPhone as a router without being connected to data.
That is essentially what I said above. When streaming local content you won't incur any data but you can't use the feature while in airplane mode.
However; you can use an airport express (2nd generation) as a router without being conected to the internet.
Yes, An Airport Express is a router, which is what I recommended initially as it is a much better solution, glad it's all worked out.

Mac mini server refuses to get DHCP address from router

Everything was going along fine. But after a power outage the server goes to a 169. address when the router puts out 198. addresses. If I put a static 198. address in it sees the network but won't connect to the internet. I've flashed the router (everything else sees the router fine, 3 computers and a time capsule). I've had the hardware checked at the Apple store - it picked up an address right away. After narrowing everything down the problem has to be in the operating system. I even did a full time machine restore to the day before the storm. No luck. Anyone heard of this problem.

Mauricette has a point.
A server function is not designed to accept a floating or dynamic IP address. If that is the case, how do you create firewall rules that prevent those unnnecessary ports being left opened from being attacked by rogue machines in Romania and China on a hourly basis when you announce to the world that your server is available if the server IP address keep changing due to the DHCP lease change? Yes, they do have bots that do this VERY EFFICIENTLY!
By changing the very nature of your firewall rules by working with DHCP, you are opening ports you do not know to accommodate DHCP dynamic addressing, which was the reason why your Mac Mini Server stopped working in the first place. It's ok for a client, since a client isn't serving any files to any one right.
By using client based firewall rules, you are exposing your server to attacks and when they get through your Mini server, which they can if they are persistent, they get into your home network and then whatever file server services you have opened and unprotected at the time WILL BE copied by these people easily.
I have a client once who did just that. She was attacked, the hacker went through her network like a rampaging bull. They were from China. My Synology RAID server gets this attack all the time, but I have a well establish IDS system and the Synology RAID has logs that tracks attacks.
For a server setup. Use static IP and then build a strong firewall around it and protect it and never compromise.
Recently, I just noticed someone somehow hacked and broke my WPA-PSK AES passkey for one of my Wireless N network router. It was not set up with a strong password though, but thankgod I had a firewall around that so my internal networks were safe. So this teaches you that if someone wants in bad, they will get in.
Hope this helps.

Officejet Pro 8500 A909g do not get the correct IP address from DHCP

Hi,
We reconfigured our network to use 172.16.11.xxxx
We assigned the IP addresses to our OfficeJet Pro 8500 A909g printers by using DHCP reservations.
After joining the wireless network, all our printers have a 169.254.xxxx.xxx address.
What am I missing?
Thanks
Christophe
This question was solved.
View Solution.

Is DHCP still active on your router? The printer will have to have DHCP active.
169.254.x.x means the printer sees the router but is not getting a valid IP from it.

[Solved] Moved from location and internet connection stopped working.

Hello everyone, this is my first post in the forums and first time using arch so please bear with me. I recently bought an Asus UX51, formatted it and installed arch linux with the help of the beginner's guide. After overcoming several problems (preinstalled raid, nvidia optimus to name a few) I managed to get it running, installed a DE and was using wireless connection just fine with
# ip link set wlp3s0 up
# wifi-menu wlp3s0
Everything was going fine until I came for a holyday's week to my parents house and tried to connect to their wireless network to no avail. I have WAP in my house, same do they in their house (in which I'm right now).
I have been trying the past 2 days with netctl, and even the manual method described in the wiki , googled, etc. I'm already out of ideas so I decided it was time to ask for help. If it's of any use, wifi-menu scans the network properly, and # netctl status wlp3s0-interface_name returns this:
Also read somewhere in the forums to try # journalctl -b , this is what I get on the last page:
When I try #ping, I get the following after having to wait around 15 secs :
~$ ping google.com
ping: unknown host google.com
I even tried booting from an USB with an arch iso, just to try getting a wired connection, mount my arch installation and download some other network manager just to see if I got any luck, but not even that worked (in my house, just by connecting the cable before booting I would automatically have internet access when booting with the iso, but it didn't work here...).
Any help would greatly be appreciated.

I got it running !
Just followed the manual guide once more, but managed to bypass some problem I had the first time I tried (you could say I was a bit lost by the command in the wiki but managed to understand it a bit more this time)
I believe the setup my parents have here is pretty messed up, other people get similar problems from time to time with the network, but I don't really understand much to mess with it so I'd rather leave it like it is.
In case it's of any use to anybody I'll leave here how everything was left in the end in my laptop.
Used:
wpa_passphrase foobarssid foobarpassword
to generate:
network={
ssid="foobarssid"
#psk="foobarspassword"
psk=f5d1c49e15e679bebe385c37648d4141bc5c9297796a8a185d7bc5ac62f954e3
I copy pasted that on my /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf ,which had a line at the start which seems was a leftover from the time I tried before (when I tried using wpa_supplicant it failed and complained about it in the error msg).
After that I used
wpa_supplicant -B -iwlp3s0 -c/etc/wpa_supplicant.conf
After that I used
dhcpcd -A wlp3s0
That failed because it said that there already was a dhcpcd process running, I killed it, tried again and it all went fine. Tried ping and kept answering "unknown host". Tried rebooting and that's when # ping google.com started to behave like it should. Tried browsing a bit and no problems whatsoever.
Thanks a lot for the help!

Can i connect directly from my cable internet connection, or do I require a cable modem?

I would like to se up a home network using my cable internet without having to rent a cable modem from my service provider. Can I use a Time Capsule to connect directly to the cable internet, or do I need the modem to establish the connection before using the time capsule to create my network?

The Time Capsule does not have a modem onboard. You will need a modem if you want to be able to connect to the Internet.

Correct IP address from router, no internet connection
