Unhappy Unable to establish internet connection using Linksys Router on Mandrake 10 - SOLVED


This is the second time I've installed Mandrake on my PC, and the way things are going it'll probably be the last. The PC is connected to a WRT54G Router with a lan cable. The details are below:

Router IP: 192.168.1.1
Internet Connection Type: PPoE (in Router Setup)
Router Name: WRT54G
Primary DNS: 203.0.178.191 (provided by ISP)
PC connected to Router via LAN PORT
Alcatel ADSL Modem connected to Router via Internet Port

/etc/sysconfig/network
HOSTNAME=mandrakepc
NETWORKING=yes
GATEWAY=192.168.1.1


/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0
DEVICE=eth0
BOOTPROTO=dhcp
ONBOOT=yes
MII_NOT_SUPPORTED=no
WIRELESS_ENC_KEY=""
DHCP_HOSTNAME=mandrakepc
NEEDHOSTNAME=yes


/etc/resolv.conf
search 168.1.1
# search 168.1.1 local
nameserver 203.0.178.191
# nameserver 127.0.0.1
# ppp temp entry

/etc/nsswitch.conf
passwd: files nisplus nis
shadow: files nisplus nis
group: files nisplus nis

#hosts: db files nisplus nis dns
hosts: files nisplus nis dns

# Example - obey only what nisplus tells us...
#services: nisplus [NOTFOUND=return] files
#networks: nisplus [NOTFOUND=return] files
#protocols: nisplus [NOTFOUND=return] files
#rpc: nisplus [NOTFOUND=return] files
#ethers: nisplus [NOTFOUND=return] files
#netmasks: nisplus [NOTFOUND=return] files

bootparams: nisplus [NOTFOUND=return] files

ethers: files
netmasks: files
networks: files
protocols: files
rpc: files
services: files
netgroup: nisplus
publickey: nisplus
automount: files nisplus
aliases: files nisplus


And here are some pings I tried -

[i][root@mandrakepc root]# ping 192.168.1.1
connect: Network is unreachable

I really want to migrate to Linux, but if I can't establish a proper internet connection, I'll be forced to trudge back into the waiting arms of Micro$oft.

Solved it! Apparently it was a configuration problem between the Router (PPoE) and the PC (DHCP). Oddly enough, two commands were enough to get the internet connection working -

ifconfig eth0 192.168.1.10
route add default gw 192.168.1.1

Now I'm off to install Firefox and Thunderbird.
