Hi. I set up a slackware box yesterday and have been reading the slack book to teach myself. Today I got to the point where I would configure my network access. I had no problem loading the module for my card. My network setup is modem-ipcop firewall/dhcp server/router- router(all routing capabilites have been stripped,it's used strictly as an access point)-computer. I can ping the ipcop box (192.168.0.1) with no problem,and my ipcop box shows that it has leased an address to the computer. However,I can't access the internet. I have tried pinging ips,so I know it's probably not a dns problem. I have also set the gateway in rc.inet1.conf to 192.168.0.1. I used netconfig to configure everything. Thanks for your help.

ok so can you ping google from the ipcop box? what does ifconfig and route say on the internal client?

Hi. It turns out that all I needed to do was restart the computer .I'm used to windows where a restart isn't required. Everything works now. Sorry about the uneeded post.

i can promise you that you would not have needed to reboot. that is the windows way, not linux.

Agreed with acid,

Its the windows way to restart

How to fix windows:
1) Restart Application
2) Reboot
3) Re-Intsall

LOL...
