Internet support?
When I install CollegeLinux, I have no internet. I think the network is working all right, as it detected the computer I'm typing this on right off the bat after giving a hostname. I have a router (192.168.0.1) and a static IP for the computer (192.168.0.19). I put in the settings at the first run. Mask is 255.255.255.0. What's up? It can get to everything in the network, but it can't talk to anything outside. Please give good instructions, as though I can deal with a certain amount of ambiguity, I am still very much a newb.

Did you put in the correct DNS name server address? It would or should have asked you if you were going to be accessing a nameserver.
If you didn't specify this before and said no, just either edit your /etc/resolv.conf file and add your ISP's DNS server IP addresses or just run netconfig again and reconfigure it that way, adding the correct nameserver addresses when it prompts you to.
If your unsure what they are, sometimes you can just use your routers IP or just look up your settings on your router and copy the DNS from there.
Regards.

try using dhcp in the netconfig program. I had a static IP address for my computer, and I'm pretty sure I could ping my router, but actually accessing the web was a no-go. DHCP solved the problem for me.

Most likely in your case you didn't have the correct DNS entries specified in /etc/resolv.conf

Probably, I didn't touch my resolv.conf file, I only used Slack's netconfig and I tried filling in all the values I could through that. DHCP works for me though, so I'm happy.
