network problems
 

Hi,

SUSE 10
hostname linux box A

SUSE firewall is off

I can ping any machine on my network from linux box A and every machine can ping linux box A.

The local network is working fine from linux box A. I am running apache and mysql on the linux box A,
I can access my web pasges from all other pc on my network conneting to linux box A.

But I can't access the internet from linux box A. I can access the internet from all my other computers...

Anybody know what is happening to my linux box A??

I can connect to my local network but not to the internet.

thanks!

Are you using static IP or dynamic IP?
If static is being used then gateway, netmask, and dns IP's should be the same as the other machines.
The same to be true for dynamic.
See if you can ping googles IP ' ping -c2 216.239.39.99 '. If that works then see which DNS IP's you are using.
Then try ' ping -c2 www.google.com '
DNS nameserver IP is stored in /etc/resolv.conf
Sequence to use to resolve names to IP is in /etc/host.conf

Hope this helps

I was looking for a dns option in the Yast network control center but I did not pay attention to the name server
line.... niiiiiice!


All goo now, thanks for enlighting me!
