RH9 not seeing internet with new DSL connection


Hello all,
This seems like a friendly forum.

I have just installed DSL internet. My RH9 box does not see the internet. My windows box does and is working fine.
Before the DSL - both boxes connected via dialup, and
were networked though a Dlink DI-524 router. Samba
was working fine as well as the Apache webserver on
the RH9. Using the instructions on the Dlink site
(I'm not allowed to post the url yet), I set the DSL modem in a bridged mode and configured
the router to provide the PPPoE and DHCP functionality
The windows box started working.

The router does assign RH9 an IP address and I can
ping the router and windows from RH9. Likewise I can
ping RH9 from windows. Windows cannot connect to my
webserver running on the RH9 box.

I'd like to get my linux box connected to the internet as well re-establish the samba networking between them.
Any suggestions?

TIA,
Brian

Any reason why your still using RH9? Sounds like upgrade time to me. Odds are Fedora will have no trouble finding your NIC and connecting to the internet with it.

Alright, I've managed to get my Linux to see the internet!
Using the Network Configuration tool I clicked on the "obtain
DNS information from provider" button. I already had it
configured to get the IP via DHCP.

The Samba part and webserver is still not working properly.
Am I looking at setting something up with DNS? I have not
set any of this up.

TIA,
Brian
