My e740 connects to my home wireless LAN fine, and can ping other wireless devices in my home, but it can't ping to my wireless router or connect to the internet. Any ideas what I could be missing?
I've configured the wireless LAN Utility settings (Infrastructure, ANY), and it shows it's connected to my home LAN with the correct IP address (192.168.1.101) and gateway (192.168.1.1). The LinkSys router clients table also shows that the Toshiba has been given the DHCP address 192.168.1.101. Using vxUtils on the Toshiba, I can successfully ping two other wireless devices (a laptop and a TiVO system). I can also ping the Toshiba from the laptop.
The problem is that I get no conncectivity between the LinkSys router and the Toshiba. The Toshiba can't ping the router, and nothing on the wired LAN can ping the Toshiba. The laptop and TiVo both connect wirelessly through the router to the internet with no problems.
This makes no sense to me, since the router and Toshiba clearly had to communicate to establish the wireless connection and do the DHCP setup, which all worked fine. But once it gets to actually sending some real data, all goes silent.
Is this a known problem that might be cured with a software update or other work-around? Is there other diagnostic software that might help narrow the problem further?
