Router + DSL + RedHat 8.0 = Trouble

the_styler · 04-05-2003, 12:48 PM

Today I installed a router that connects 4 PCs to the internet. Under Windows XP I simply activated the "Get IP dynamicly" option and it worked.
Under RedHat 8.0 I opened "neat" and activated the Ethernet-Card eth2 but using Mozilla I still can't open websites, while it is possible to access the router (http://192.168.0.1). I also activated the option "get IP via DHCP".
Any suggestions? I found nothing suitable in the archives - sorry.

thanx in advance,
styler.

Make sure your RedHat also get DNSes from the router. Look into /etc/resolv.conf. If it's empty (or there are no lines beginning with 'nameserver'), choose the right option in RH configuration (sorry, but I don't know the prgram you mentioned) or fill the file manually (for example, if one of your DNS servers is 192.168.1.1 - it's local address, so won't work in real world, use 'nameserver 192.168.1.1').
