    Hi

    Had a similar issue with a wireless card on a suse machine trying to
    connect to the wireless, it could ping the router, just not get out to
    the internet. This however was connecting to a airport base station.
    What we tried doing was giving it a static IP address. This worked,
    try that and see if it works.

    This is Vinod, and thats how the cookie crumbles.
