You'll never guess what.. it's stopped working again :'(!
I shut the PC down yesterday, and then when I started it up again today I was dissapointed to find yet again no internet connection ?
Now, I know it's a linux thing because I've got the internet on this Windows machine (otherwise I wouldn't be writing this ;P) so... yeah? However today I'm not so sure it's DNS related because last time I was actually able to access things via IP whereas today, there's no access atall.
I've checked named is up and resolv.conf is conf'd correctly so... I am once again stuck for ideas :P!
For referance, this is what happens when I ping:
Code:
[james@localhost james]$ ping google.com
connect: Network is unreachable
Heh, it turned out I had it set to use a static IP... which my router didn't agree with ! Anyway, I switched it over to DHCP and restarted the network service and now it's working again .
The only problem is, it's a little slow and it won't load the linux questions forums! It transfers data for an absolute eternity, unlike Windows which loads it almost instantly?
Scrap that last post, it was due to the fact restarting the network service reset my resolv.conf, hence removing the localhost nameserver.
I readded it, and now everything's running smoothly. Thanks for you continued help... I think you've answered every question I've posted on this forum so far lol!
