now try ping www.google.com

and then post the output of ifconfig

from terminal type

ifconfig

Gillman

it does the same thing with the ping.
when i typed ifconfig it said

go to http://web.onetel.net.uk/~showerail/...net_setup.html

that should help a little try setting up eth0 using static ip like it does in there

Gillman

ok. thank you much for all your help. ill post later as to whether or not it worked

I mean, do you have a router connected to your modem, how many computers are there, etc..

You must run this as root.

You don't have to run ifconfig as root, but you have to have /sbin in your path.

It is indeed easier to run it as root, because root usually has /sbin in path, and you can also change the parameters in addition to listing them.

sorry to bring this back up but i still cant fugure this out. i havn't been on my comp lately so i just kind of forgot about my problem. when i did get on i just had to cope with winxp.

anyway, i think i found out what could be the problem, but i dont know how to fix it. its acting like there is a size limit as to how much info i can download. right now it seems to be set at something like 10kb. i can connect to google once, but no more. if i try to reload the page or go to a different site it wont work. i can search on google but no pics show up (im guessing because of filesize), only text. this leads me to believe that i am connected and that google is not just in the memory somwhere. its not the browser as far as i can tell, because the same thing happens in every browser i use. and if i do this in one browser then i cant do it in another and i have to restart the comp to try again.


sorry if i'm becomeing repetitive and annoying...
