hello,

I have a computer with Fedora 10 on it but it is having some issues.

I can ping all computers in my network sucessfully but I can't go online... also i can connect to one of the computers that has shared folders but can not connect to the others. any ideas what might be wrong?

Settings:

OS IS: Fedora 10
OS WAS: Windows XP

can you please clarify "go online"?? normally this sort of thing sounds like a DNS issue, but you've not mentioned what actually does work and what doesn't. can you ping internet sites by ip for example?

i can't ping or access internet sites with the Fedora 10 computer

PING www.google.com

sorry about that

OK, so yes, that's a DNS issue. is a valid DNS server listed in /etc/resolv.conf?

DSN1 and DSN2 are both displayed as "xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx" (literal value not hidden value)

The whole /etc/resolv.conf file is:

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

# Generated by NetworkManager


# No nameservers found; try putting DNS servers into your
# ifcfg files in /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts like so:
#
# DNS1=xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
# DNS2=xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
# DOMAIN=lab.foo.com bar.foo.com

Thanks.

After checking that file I was able to add my DNS and Domain to the ifcfg file and the internet works now. this message is actually from the Fedora 10 computer

I'm having a similar problem to ct_hamster. I'm using Ubuntu 8.10
However my issue (I think) is with the proxy. I have DNS listed in my resolv.conf file. I am able to access internal network. Not able to browse external websites or ping the sites using their IP addresses.

resolv.conf:

Any ideas?
