I'm running Slackware 10.0, and just recently reconfigured my network.

I've changed the IP address, subnet mask, and gateway of my Linux box to work with the new network.

IP: 192.168.1.6
Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0
Gateway: 192.168.1.1 (The router)
Nameserver: (empty)

Hostname: tux
Domain: 1.toms-server.net

These settings are identical to my Windows computers, with the exception of IP address, and can connect to the internet fine.

I can ping other computers on the network, including the router, and can also access the web control pnel of the router via the linux box.

But pinging any computer or website on the internet side of the router just fails with an "Unknown Host" message.

Any ideas?


EDIT:
Should also point out that I had no problems at all accessing the internet before these network changes.

I have tried changing the settings in 'netconfig' to use my routers DHCP server instead of using a static IP. This hasn't helped, and it is not listed in the router 'DHCP Clients' list, along with my other computers.

Post /etc/resolv.conf

/etc/resolv.conf

search 1.toms-server

I have the routers address
/etc/resolv.conf
and the router as the default gateway
Here is my setup WAN -> dsl modem -> linux router -> LAN
not sure if yours is the same

I have a slightly different setup, but I changed my resolv.conf to match yours (though obviously different IPs) and it works.

Thanks for the help, much appreciated.

Great, and your welcome, have fun

I think my wlan configuration is ok because "ifup wlan0" makes no problems. It just doesn't get up at boot time. I think /etc/network/interfaces is processed, cause other interfaces are up, only wlan0 is ignored.

Sorry, wrong thread
