Can't Connect to the Internet (Actiontec Modem)

setcal · 06-10-2005, 09:47 PM

I have a linux/windows machine with a dual boot. Windows is connecting to the Internet just fine, but if I open a browser in Linux, I can't get to google or yahoo. A friend helped me set up a web server on the Linux computer. My room mate who is connecting to my same modem successfully accessed it.

I'm trying to connect to the Internet with DSL via ethernet. The modem is a gt701-wg actiontec modem.

After looking at another thread, I ran these commands:

lsmod
lspci
ifconfig -a
ping -c 4 127.0.0.1
ping -c 4 192.168.0.1

The output is below. If you can help, it would be VERY much appreciated. Thanks in advance!!

Try running "dhclient eth0". Since you can ping the router (192.168.0.1 right?) then you have route or dns problems that dhclient should automatically take care of. To test try this ip 64.233.161.99, if it works and not www.google.com then it is a prob with dns.
