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.
