I have a strange issue. I can connect to wireless networks from Linux
(Ubuntu 9.04 64-bit using rtl8187 chipset), but I can't see outside of
the LAN. I can ping the gateway and each computer while in windows. I
get the same dns, dhcp obtained info and can connect although the
Linux driver works better when it was working because with the windows
one, the internet often cuts out.

Connect to your AP

Post the output of of an ifconfig and your routing table ("netstat -r"
perhaps, I'm on AIX at the moment so I can't check the linux command,
it the equivalent of the Windows "route print" command).

You say you can ping the gateway whilst in Windows - can we assume
that you can do the same in Linux?

That's windows. Now I will reboot to Linux and do "route -n" and the
others. Yes, I can ping the gateway in Linux as well as other
computers on the network.


What are the results of:

route

and have you pinged an named address:

ping www.google.com

/and/ an IP address (the IP I use is google as well):

ping 64.233.169.106

The first should resolve if DNS is good and you get out that far:

froller@metis:~$ ping www.google.com
PING www.l.google.com (64.233.169.106) 56(84) bytes of data.
64 bytes from 64.233.169.106: icmp_seq=1 ttl=239 time=37.3 ms

The second (IP addy only) will by pass the DNS servers and let you know
if you can get out beyond your gateway.

froller@metis:~$ ping 64.233.169.106
PING 64.233.169.106 (64.233.169.106) 56(84) bytes of data.
64 bytes from 64.233.169.106: icmp_seq=1 ttl=239 time=40.7 ms

The Route command above will let you know what is going where. Of
course make sure your router will pass ICMP (ping) traffic.
