Getting my linux box to the internet

k0ljat · 05-19-2004, 10:11 AM

The problem is like this: i have a newly intalled linux distro(redhat) and i need it to get connection with the internet, the only problem is that my connection is shared and there is no need for passwords etc, i have all the ip, subway adresses etc, the problem is where to put these settings? I have tried but the only thing that happens is that it shows that i have a active network device and the connection should be up, but it isnt, logs dont give nothing usesfull too.. Im looking forward for help, thanks..

your lookgin for netconfig in a terminal :-)

are you trying to connect to an internet gateway in your LAN?

1)use netconfig, specify your gateway's ip or use "route add" command
2)put /etc/resolv.conf
-nameserver your.name.server.ip

should be something like that

Well, there is an option in netconfig to specifie the DNS... SO no needd to edit /etc/resolv :-0)
