We can't help you id you won't provide the output you see.
No Internet connection in a browser does not necessary mean that you aren't connected to the net, that is why cynwulf asked for testing it with those commands. For example, if you can't ping google.com, but can ping its IP you are connected to the net, but there are problems with name resolving.
I think I have to set the username and password received from the ISP under the router IP, but to do so I have to change the bridge mode, which you said not to mess with.
Usually routers are configured in NAS mode, I would give that a try, then of course you have to put your credentials into the router. So far the output of the commands shows that your network is up and running, but your router is not connected to the Internet.
Select the type of network protocol for IP over Ethernet as WAN interface
there are few options:
1. PPP over ATM (PPPoA)
2.PPP over Ethernet (PPPoE)
3. MAC Encapsulation Routing (MER)
4.IP over ATM (IPoA)
5.Bridging
the selected one is bridging, but under this option there are no fields to feed the ISP username and password.
Under PPPoE and PPPoA there are ! so where shall I feed these info ?
I have some more questions:
Under WAN(in case this is where I have to search) there are two options, shall I modify them both?
what is PPPoE service name? it asks for it along with the username and password? is it the name of the ISP?
Also I don't find NAT option .
Thanks
OK, I modified both of them, set the username and password, I choosed PPPoE, and guess what? I have internet now, and yes, there is an NAT option.
I just hope It will not disconnect!!!
I'll repost later regarding the other issuse I have such as installing more languages ... .
Thanks,
I just found something that can help others.
if the output of rfkill list gives something like this:
Quote:
0: tpacpi_bluetooth_sw: Bluetooth
Soft blocked: yes
Hard blocked: no
1: phy0: Wireless LAN
Soft blocked: no
Hard blocked: yes
Then your wireless hardware is blocked, using rfkill unblock 1, did not help, I have also windows 7 on my laptop, so I enabled the wireless under windows 7 and then rebooted in debian 7, and the wireless blocked was removed.
