Mandriva 2008 + internet

You don't have a manual or a handbook for your modem? Then checkout the manufacturers website or call their support hotline for username and password. Without logging in to your modem you can't configure your internet connection.

I have a Windows connection on this modem as well. It works fine.

Aaaaargh!! Now look, if you had told me that before, we would have saved much energy and time! So: Do you now have an internet connection under linux?

Sorry. And thanks for your help. No, I don't have a Linux connection yet. Thanks again.

Ok, so try this: Open the mcc, go to -> 'network & internet' -> 'configure a network interface' and then go 'Ethernet' -> choose your ethernetcard -> the rest is preselected and should be ok (get ip-address and dns-server automatically).

After that, make sure that you choose eth0 and not ppp0 as your internet connection (available via right-click on the netapplet in the panel)
From all I can see, this should work.

I did so, but browser does not find pages.

Please post the output of this command

Code:

 
ls /etc/netprofile/profiles/default/files/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/

antoniog · 01-08-2008, 06:47 AM

"File or folder not found".

Philosopher · 01-08-2008, 07:55 AM

What about this?

Code:

ls /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg*

antoniog · 01-08-2008, 04:16 PM

It is the same.

Philosopher · 01-08-2008, 04:52 PM

Now it's getting really strange! If you have ever tried to set up a network connection under Mandriva 2008.0, it should appear in the folder /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ like e.g. ifcfg-eth0 or ifcfg-ppp0 or ifcfg-wlan0.

Just to double check:

Code:

ls /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/

A lot of things. How can I copy from terminal window?

Depends on which terminal you use. E.g. within the Gnome-Terminal you mark the text you want to copy with your mouse, then right-click and choose copy from the menu. Instead using the right-click you could also use the shortcut Ctrl-Shift-C

I use KDE. Thanks.
