Internet is not working NEED HELP!!
 

Slackware looks great and works great :D

But my internet doesnt work... In Mandrake it worked great when I selected Static IP and entered the IP, DNS and gateway manually. But in Slackware my internet isnt working but I have the correct IP, DNS and gateway...

I have Cable internet and I work with a router.

Who can help me ?

first what does /sbin/ifconfig report about eth0? Usually with slackware I'll use a DHCP server (slackware's dhcp client is dhcpcd) and just start it running with 'dhcpcd'. But I'll try to help out however I can.

have you run netconfig?

Which internet connection do you have?

ADSL with PPTP connection?
Dedicated router / gateway?
Can you ping the gateway?
Can you ping IP's? For example 195.241.48.33.
What does route -n shows?

I cant ping Im getting the follow message:

connect: Network is unreachable

What now ?:Pengy:

is the eth0 interface up? (/sbin/ifconfig)
If it is then is the network mask and IP address correct? That should be enough to get you to be able to ping another IP address (provided the gateway is also correct).

I have changed some thing in rc.inet1 and now i am able to ping the IP of the router and other website IP's.. But i cant get onto internet in a browser..

Whats next ?:scratch:

if the router is your nameserver try adding the ip of the router in /etc/resolv.conf.

nameserver = xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx

Yeah it just sounds like you're not getting any name resolution. If you can open a website in your browser: google.com = 216.239.39.104; linuxquestions.org = 67.179.4.146 then you just need to add DNS server IPs to resolv.conf (as mentioned above)
