Best I can tell all the subnet masks are correct. I was just thinking... (smoke rises). dmesg shows a small amount of packet traffic to/from the MiFi WLAN interface, basically the DHCP setup handshake packets, and nothing more. Yet, you are unable to ping or telnet or www to that interface on the MiFi, but you can ping your local WiFi interface. What I'm thinking here is that your network stack is active, but something is preventing your user space applications from accessing the network stack. If you have SELinux enabled, disable it. Check to make sure you have no iptables rules in place that might be causing problems. If you don't know what iptables is, disable or clear out any "firewall" software front end you have installed, such as those listed here: http://wiki.debian.org/Firewalls To do it manually, first, from a bash shell, do an "iptables -S" and reply here with the output (this is merely informational for those following this thread). Immediately afterward, without waiting for my response, execute "iptables -F" to flush the current rules. You should now be working. I should have thought of this earlier, because of this: ping: sendmsg: Operation not permitted ping: sendmsg: Operation not permitted ping: sendmsg: Operation not permitted I've never seen that error before. "Operation not permitted" is obviously a policy error, not a network error. Read this thread for more background. Same error as you. Disabling ShoreWall fixed his problem instantly: http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/linux-networking-3/ping-sendmsg-operation-not-permitted-307848/ Note the networking guru helping the guy took him through almost identical steps I've taken you through? lol. I should have been up on Google this whole time, as well you should have Wayne. :) The answers are almost always indexed in Google et al, if you know what to search for. Hope this solves it, finally. -- Stan -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact listmas...@lists.debian.org
