Originally posted by Belghouth when you pinged www.google.com, the adress was resolved 216.239.39.99, that means your DNS is replying.
The problem is in the 192.168.1.47 gateway, it could be not configured.
so, do you think I might have configured the NIC wrong?
I went to the mandrake control center's Internet/network configuration wizard, and followed the steps. then it did the same thing I was trying to do manually.
Hi All,
I just went through a fresh install of CentOS and ran into the same issue. After setting a static IP, I was able to ping the gw and 4.2.2.2 but not www.google.com...an edit to the /etc/resolv.conf with an adress of my gw did not help either. after several mins , i realized i fat fingered the nameserver entry in the resolv.conf file. I know, it's stupid but i t may help someone.
