On FC8 with my dual boot laptop, in the process of testing wpa_supplicant with my Actiontec router, I had a situation in which I could ping within my LAN, but but not the WAN. Other boxes on my LAN, had no problem contacting the WAN. So I shut of the encryption, and made unencrypted WiFi contact. Still, I could contact the LAN but not the WAN. Then I made a wired Ethernet connection from the test laptop. In that case, everything worked for WAN and LAN. Then I went back to wireless. It all worked, with and without encryption. So I am living happily ever after, but I fear I may be in a fool's paradise. Any suggestions? Thanks, Mike.
