Can't connect to internet
 

I installed SuSe 8 pro recently and found that i cannot connect to the internet with my SiS 900 newtwork onboard an ecs mobo. i linux sees the card and has it configured, but when i try to connect through konquorer, or anything for that matter, i just get a 404 not found error. i


I then installed another nic that was in my win2k box and i could surf the web fine with that. This solution is not adaquete though because i need that nic for my other box. in the end if i cannot get it to work i will just go out and buy a new card, but i would not like to have it come to that, since it is an hour to the nearest computer store. Any suggestions to this problem?

Are you able to ping any thing on the internet? Try your ISP's nameservers.

Try pinging by host name (e.g. www.somedomain.com). If that doesn't work try pinging an external IP address (again your ISP's nameservers if you know what their addresses are).

If you can get a reply by pinging IP addresses, but not by hostname, then you've got yourself a name resolution problem. and it would be good if you can you post what's in your /etc/resolv.conf file.

If you can ping hostname as well as IP addresses and you're still getting that 404 error I'd ensure that if you need to go through a proxy then it's configured in your browser.

i did ifconfig and got the following

link: endcap :Loval Loopback
inet addr:127.0.0.1 Mask: 255.0.0.0
inetr addr: ::1/128 Scope: Host
UP LOOPBACK RUNNING MTU : 16426 Metric:1

TX packets: 88 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0

how do you ping with linux, i'm a little new, same as nt?

Yes, it is the same as NT--they both use TCP/IP.

I am running SuSE 7.3 Pro and i am also unable to connect to the internet...i get the same 404 not found errors

I noticed that my computer has no eth0 and i know that it is supposed to, but I have no idea how to fix it

My computer is recognizing the card and the driver seems to be working, but I cannot get an ip address...

please help!

How are you trying to get an IP address? Do you assigned on via DHCP?

i am using dhclient...I also just started getting errors telling me that the host is unknown when i try to get to a web site

Is your eth0 initialized at boot? Try (as root) /sbin/ifup eth0 before using dhclient.

When I tried /sbin/ifup eth0 I got an error. It says that there is no such file or directory
