Question Help


I changed my linux system to get its ip address via a dhcp server. I acquired an ip address, but cannot get out on the internet. I have a Windows XP pc connected to the same switch which can get out on the internet.

Try the route command and make sure you have the proper default gateway.

If not you should be able to add it by:
route add default gw ip_address_of_your_router

Can you ping your router? Also, can you ping an Internet address like yahoo.com?
