Is your gateway (192.168.0.1) set up to do NAT?
|
what is NAT and how do i find out?
|
Nat is Network Address Translation. Your IP address (192.168.0.148) is not publically routable, so you need the gateway/router to NAT your connection to connect to the internet.
Is this gateway not your box? If not you will need to talk to the administrator of it to find out how to connect. If it is your box, you will need to set up NAT yourself. Tell if the gateway is under your control or not, and we will go from there... |
i have an ethernet brodband router that i connect to the computer which is under my control...
|
Is 192.168.0.1 the router? If so you will need to play with the router settings. Follow the instructions for the device to enter the administrative interface, and make sure it is Natting your LAN for you.
If 192.168.0.1 is a different computer attached to the router, you should set the router as your default gateway instead. |
i am having some troubel figureing out how to set up my router with NAT iam wondering if it comes with it already enabled because i can access the internet on windows (my computer dual boots)

You can ping local computers but cannot connect to Internet servers. These are very different functions. Can you ping Internet servers?
Enter this at the command line: nslookup www.linuxquestions.org Post the results. This will tell us if you are routing properly and if you are getting name resolution. |
i typed in nslookup and there it timed out then i manualy entered the DNS server ip's and i can now view web sights thanks so much
