hey guys i have small issue. I just installed Debian 5 on my system and I didnt have it on the network and I chose not to configure networking during installation.
I plan to use static ip to stay on a private network most the time, but right now I want to quickly get out on the net to get some things..... So I want to get dhcp going and connect to my router to get out.
I set up my interfaces file to say:
Code:
auto eth0
iface eth0 inet dhcp
but it's not really finding my dhcp router... I know I am physically connected to the net because I am dual booting with Windows 7 and it has internet access just fine.
I am wondering, do I need to install any other packages to get my networking working?
I do not have /etc/resolve.conf.... I think I saw a message about that.
can someone help me figure out what to do?
thanks
