grr, DHCP
Hi!
I have a router downstairs that all the computers in the house connect to, and I use Comcast cable. Using Redhat 6.2 under Gnome, I went to the Network Configurator from the Control Panel, and am having trouble setting up the network connection for that computer. I've looked around but haven't found things to fit my problem, or get it through my newb self. When I try to go to www,google,com in Netscape, two errors come up. The first says Quote:

To make a long post longer =/ Under Routing in the Network Configurator, I set up the default gateway as 192.168.0.1 and the default gateway device eth0. Interface: eth0, network address: 68.50.15.13, netmask: 255.255.255.0, gateway: 192.168.0.1 For "names", I put hostname: cj241911-a and the domain dlcty1.va.home.com I got most of the numbers from either telnetting the router on this WinXP computer, or the LAN control panel on XP. Thank you! |
1. Can you ping your router? ping 192.168.0.1
2. Can you ping a server on the internet, such as google? ping www.google.com 3. Paste the output of ifconfig eth0 (do this as root) |
1. connect: Network is unreachable
2. ping: unknown host www.google.com 3. eth0: error fetching interface information: Device not found btw, just ifconfig gives me lo information, and eth0 IS activated |
err so.. you can't ping your router.. which means that it is either dropping packets or you haven't been assigned an IP.
Try the following (I'm assuming that you've set the router up on dhcp) Code:
# ifconfig eth0 up |
