Hi...

After using fedora core 4. i installed Slackware 10.2.Everything was ok with fedora core 4.Now,with slackware,i have a problem with network configuration. The problem is internet is not working with slackware. i can't enter any web-sites and i can't use gaim. nothing works.

Here're my adresses. These are correct and i was using them with fedora core 4. Everthing was ok.

(no dhcp)static ip
ip :10.10.1.190
netmask :255.255.255.0
gateway :10.10.10.1
DNS :193.140.41.90

But when i apply this settings to slackware and when i try some commands at terminal,it gives me the following messages :

ping www google com ( it does not let me to write with dots )
ping : unknown host www google com

and when i write " ping 123.123.123.123 " .. here, what happens ;

ping 123.123.123.123
connect : Network is unreachable

---------- And here are my Slackware settings ----------
i can't find what the problem is
here is my " /etc/rc.d/rc.inet1.conf " file

#config information for eth0

IPADDR[0]="10.10.1.190"
NETMASK[0]="255.255.255.0"
USE_DHCP[0]=""
DHCP_HOSTNAME[0]=""
.
.
.
.
.
GATEWAY="10.10.10.1"

when i wrote " route - n" at terminal ;

Destination Gateway Genmask Flags Metric Ref Use iface
10.10.1.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 0 eth0
127.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 255.0.0.0 U 0 0 0 lo

when i wrote "ifconfig" at terminal.There writes :

eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:C1:8F:A6:9E:13

Please help me. This is the 6th time i m installing slackware in 2 days. I can't find what the problem is. why i can't connect to internet ? .. what should i do to enter any web-site.. ?

Thank you in advance..
and i'm sorry for my bad english..

thanx
Rommeo..

With an IP of 10.10.1.190 and a netmask of 255.255.255.0, your line of will never work because that gateway's IP address is not within the range of your local subnet. Did you make a typo in the IPADDR of the GATEWAY perhaps?

Eric

it's correct i m sure about it. i have just checked it again. i know that they are different. But we re connecting over a hub. And at least 200 computer connects to same ip adress. Maybe it's because of that.

A default gateway MUST be in the same network segment as you plugged your own PC into.
So go looking for the PC or server or router that connects the 10.10.1 to the 10.10.10 network, and that one's IP address (10.10.1.xxx) is the IP you enter after "GATEWAY="

But i was using these settings at fedora core 4 and it was working. i know how to do it with gnome. But at slackware 10.2 there is no gnome. Those IP adresses are correct i can send you the screenshot of my settings.( now i m using those adresses and as u see i can connect(on win ) ) ..thank you for your help ..

What's the output of "ipconfig /all" in your Windows?

i have found those things from win " ipconfig -all ". i know what you mean and i m checking again.. :

dhcp : no
ip : 10.10.1.190
netmask : 255.255.255.0
gateway : 10.10.10.1
DNS : 193.140.41.90

i can send you the screenshot. i'm sure about those adresses.

try to use the command "netconfig" to configure your internet arguments.

i tried that so many times. But same result.. i cant connect ..

Then I think that maybe the configuration of your DNS.
Check /etc/resolv.conf for "nameserver ..."

remember to restart your system after the modification.

here is my "/etc/resolv.conf"

search anyname.com ( this adress is not important )
nameserver 193.140.41.90

in your "route" output there's no gateway set.( first post )
it should be marked "UG".

also, have you tried with your ip set to 10.10.10.190 ?

egag

yes all of my routes are 0.0.0.0 and i dont know how can i change them ?.. and i did not try 10.10.10.190 ( my ip = 10.10.1.190 )
my gateway must be " 10.10.10.1 " i think i have to see my gateway at route table ?? right ?

Or, change your netmask to 255.255.0.0
