Hi all,
at home , we have a small network setup. Cable model goes to a netgear router, there are 3 wxp systems all online and good, but my linux system has no internet access. I used all the same settings for ip address and gateway, the dns servers , netmask ect, and when booting (rh 7.2 fresh install) eth0 comes up without error.
If I try to ping an address or open a website I get no response, as root or a regular user.
well I played some more and things have gone odd, I am now posting from the linux box here at home, BUT for some reason I can ping addresses here ok, like 192.169.0.* but trying like a "ping ftp.cdrom.com" fails with 100% packet loss
