How do you get online on slack 10.0?

well i dont know what the description would be...when i try to go to websites it says that there is no such host or whatever..i do not know how to setup the NIC to work with *nix..i got extreme DSL...works fine on windows...maybe that helps...oh and i fixed the volume problem i had...the sound works now..but now the CD player dont work lol...and also when i lower that 1 FPC or w/e that makes that nasty beeping noise...it never stays set...everytime i go root it goes back...thanks

hi there

post the O.p of

route -n

and the contents of the file
/etc/resolv.conf

regards

do i get to route -n in root? or on KDE? i have a Linksys LNE100TX on the 3rd pci slot...i went to the lisa thing and it says no NIC's were detected...

thanks...im going to try to get the information

ok the route -n is

Kernel IP routing table

Destination Gateway Gnmask Flags metric ret use Iface
127.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 255.0.0.0 V 0 0 0 lo

and the Resolv.conf is

Search example.net


Thats all it says.

hi there

i see that there is no confg of ur NIC, maybe u should go about configring ur NIC

u can set the options in ur NIC by using
"netconfig" in slackware

regards

ok..ill try netconfig...in root...ill get back to you..thanks.

no go...i did netconfig....entered the hostname and the ip...well i believe i entered the hostname right...and the ip and the mask...then i got on kde and went o an irc client and konqueror browser and it just says that the site doesnt exist which it does (www.aol.com) (www.linuxquestions.org) neither worked...im lost and frustrated because it isnt like i have a rare NIC..its a linksys lne100tx...i just dont get it. thanks for your help

now agter uysing netconfig
post again the O/P of

ifconfig

and

route -n

and the IP of your router

regards

i do not have a router...

i will go get those now and post them...be right back

ok..i had to write all this out...and now retype it..so if it dont work now..bye bye linux lol

Ifconfig

eth0 Link Encap: Ethernet HWaddr 00:b0:d0:E8:91:34
inet addr: 192.168.1.92 Bcast: 192.168.1.255 Mask:255.255.255.0

and the rx and tx and errors etc. are same as above.


Route -n

there is all the info u requested....hope it works out...thanks for all the help and time

hi there

what are u missing is ur default gateway

for that just the IP od ur ISP
u must be having that from windows

and run this

route add default gw <ur ISP IP address>

also u need to put correct nameserver in /etc/resolv.conf

for that u can start ur own DNS server
put this in ur /etc/resolv.conf

nameserver 127.0.0.1

and start ur named service

also this is just the start man,so do not get frustated from linux

At the very least, state your net hardware. Really hard to help out without some details!
