Lost my ethernet connection
I disconnected for my cable modem and when I tried to reconnect I lost my connection. Firedfox just hangs and gives an error msg.
I did run ifconfig eth0, this is the result Code:
[root@localhost ~]# ifconfig eth0 |
Interesting, one would expect dhcp setup for use with a cable modem.
Can you ping an outside IP? Did you change anything after unplugging the modem, which you had to remember how to put back when you re-plugged the modem? |
ping says unknown host name. ::(:

Great - this means you're not connecting to the internet at all.
You may be best to set the thing up from scratch again. Try using dhcp this time. Let the modem/isp do all the hard work :) When you report the result of a test (i.e. ping), it helps to post the exact command you typed and the responce... verbatim. |
