Slackware 13.1 Internet problems
 
So this has been going on for weeks now.
Usually doesnt happen till friday-saturday.
My internet breaks down on slackware, im able to play an online video game, and sometimes if i'm lucky, use pidgin to get on Gchat. However other than that, I cannot access the internet. I've tried multiple browsers, resetting my router, and resetting my modem.
It's connected through an ethernet cord, and I am getting an IP from my router.
My first thought was that it was a bandwidth limit, but I'm at my house, on a windows computer typing this right now. I'm not an expert on bandwidth caps so maybe it is this. The weird thing is,I have a laptop running slackware as well. Even over wireless it doesnt work.
I got extremely fed up with it as of today, and want to know what is happening.

What do you mean that you can not access the internet? You were playing video games through the internet and chatting, right? Have you been able to browse internet sites such as www.linuxquestions.org with a browser? There is a difference between the internet being slow and it not working at all. Can you explain what is not working?

Code:

# ifconfig -a
Do you only have one network device on your computer such as the ethernet device?

What's not working is browsing the internet. As i said. I can play video games, sometimes use pidgin, but browsing the internet via firefox/seamonkey does not work.
Also yes, i only have eth0/eth1

Post the output of
Code:

Try to ping www.linuxquestions.org with one ping. If no reply, search linuxquestions for how to manually set up the network for Slackware. Should be similar to other Linux distributions. Then, for Slackware you can create the missing script files so it works on bootup.
