LAN Ok but no Internet RH 8.0
 

I have Red Hat 8.0 loaded on a PC (192.168.1.101) which is one of 3 connected to a Cable Router (192.168.1.1). I can ping the other 2 PCs and can log on to the router's html set-up, but I can't connect to the Internet.

Ipconfig in Windows on my machine reads:

Ip adress 192.168.1.101
Default Gateway 192.168.1.1
Subnet Mask 255.255.255.0

In Linux

Ifconfig reads:
eth0 Link encap: Ethernet HW address 00:10:B5:8A:17
inet addr: 192.168.1.101 Bcast: 192.168.1.255
Mask: 255.255.255.0
Up Broadcasting Running Multicast MTU:1500 Metric:1
RX packets: 47 errors:0,etc.

route reads:
Destination Gateway GenMask
192.168.1.0 * 255.255.255.0 eth0
127.0.0.0 * 255.0.0.0 lo
default 192.168.1.1 0.0.0.0 eth0

Thanks for any help you can give me.:newbie:

Don't you think you've got on two machines same IP? (192.168.1.101)

The 192.168.1.101 is only on my computer. The other two in the house are 192.168.1.100 and 192.168.101.102. I can ping them all along with the Router at 192.168.1.1. I just can't get my computer (when running Linux) to see past the router to the internet.

Thanks for the reply though.:newbie:

Here's something I always check:

I'll guess you are pinging some host on the internet to check if you are up. I always use www.yahoo.com. If you get "host not found" that does not mean that you are not reaching the internet, it may just mean that the host name is not resolving. It helps if you know the address of some host out there. I keep a record of Yahoo's. It is 66.218.71.86. To get a clue what is going on when you are finally connected, try using that number in the address window of your browser instead of the actual host name, www.yahoo.com.

If that's not it ... maybe a firewall problem.

problem solved
 

It may have just been a wrong number in my DNS setting, but I also changed name in Windows to Localhost so that ipconfig showed my hostname as localhost.(my ip server). Okie Doke, Thanks
