I have recently upgraded my kernel to 2.6.0-test9. After I install I cannot get to anything that is outside of my local network. Any idea on what I need to change in my kernel config that will resolve this problem? I have tried booting with acpi=off but that did not solve the problem. This is an Athlon 1800 running debian.

I can send my .config to anyone that thinks they can help!

How do you get outside of your local network? Do you go through eth0, eth1, pppd ?

Some more information about your network would help. And maybe post the results of:
ifconfig
route
lsmod
Also can you ping 216.109.118.73? How about ping www.yahoo.com?

I can ping whatever I want, also my webserver, ftp server, ssh server work outside of my local network. I have a Netgear wireless router though my server is connected through one of the hardwired ethernet ports. I go through eth0 and my route just shows that my gateway is correct. lsmod shows only a usbkb which does not exit as well as agpgart. The NIC is a eepro100. The strange thing is there is a list of modules that have fatal errors in my boot log. Could this have something to do with it? I think these modules are in the kernel, well at least eepro100. There is no sound card installed therefore emu10k1 shouldn't be there. The rest I'm not sure of...

You are getting those errors because originally they were built as modules and you included them in the kernel. So you need to find where Debian loads modules and comment out the ones that are failing. Alot of distros have a /etc/modules.conf file or /etc/modules file that automatically loads modules.

I guess I'm misunderstanding something here. You say you can ping www.yahoo.com but you cannot browse www.yahoo.com?

Yup can ping it but can't browse it. TCPDump shows a request going out but nothing coming back. But all of my other internel network machines can browse the internet and if I roll back to 2.4.X I can browse the internet.

What exactly does update-modules do? I looked at the modules.conf file and it says not to edit it, not like I usually listen to those warnings but it says to run update-modules.

Well if you followed the instructions correctly on how to set up the new 2.6.x kernels, and u installed the newest modutils.
Then you dont have to change anything on /etc/modules.conf BUT in /etc/modprobe.conf as it is the new file that kernels 2.6.x look for to load the modules specified, if you need to change something related to kernel modules do it on that file.
