I have installed CentOS in multi-boot set up.when i am trying internet thru win7,its working fine but when i am tryin to connect using CentOs,its not working.I have tried and changed the mac address to the one that is on windows(this worked fine with ubuntu) but the issue remains in CentOS.
plz help!

Have you "shared" the connection in win7?

Have you setup a gateway in CentOS to point to win7 machine ip?

That should be all! I do this all the time. Create connection in windows, share connection with all users, in network setup of linux set the gateway to ip address of windows machine. That should work!

dint do that...ll try that out...thanks!

I guess your reference to win7 is just to let us know that the network hardware is ok.

Have you read and followed the networking documentation on the centos site?

Why do not provide more information about your setup? Multi-boot means? Dual boot like windows and CentOS on the same machine? Or on different machines on network? What kind of internet?

i have installed win7,ubuntu and CentOS on same machine as below:

yeah did read that and tried configuring as per instructions but the problem remains!

Ok, then please be specific. The more information you can give the better the chance that someone will be able to help you. For example:

Are you using wired or wireless? If wireless are you using encryption: if so what type?

What is the hardware: ie output of lspci?

Are you using static or dhcp? What is the ouput of "ifconfig eth0" (assuming eth0 is the device)? And "iwconfig eth0" if wireless.

What version of centos are you using?

Cheers,

Ok but you did not answer all my questions. What type of internet? Broadband internet using adsl router modem? Wired or wireless router? How do you connect in windows? Do you use dial up connection? Or is it always on connection?
