I cannot access inernet from linux but can connect to internet from windows on a dual boot machine. I used to access the internet but suddenly it stopped.Please help.
1. In most cases of this type the problem is with your /etc/resolv.conf file.
It needs to have the ip address of your (guess) ADSL router if it is doing DNS for your network , or your ISP's DNS Addresses.
The format of the file should be
nameserver xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
Heres my /etc/resolv.conf
nameserver 192.168.0.254
That address is my adsl router.
2. Another problem which can be mistaken for the above is if you are using firefox for your browser and it is using ipv6
Heres a link to show u how to fix it - easy 3 steps.
I would first check if the Ethernet cable is connected and active on your OS. You can do that by looking in the "network configuration" panel. You will probably have to su and then try to check under "system-config-network" or something similar.

I use SUSE Linux 10.1 and my NIC SiS 900 based ethernet card. I initially installed Fedoora core 5 and had the samne problem.

Hi,
To assist, you must provide a little more information. To just ask for help with 'I cannot access inernet from linux but ...' will get both of us no where.
For future reference you could check out the website for how to ask questions.
How are you attempting to connect, wired or wireless?
Since my crystal ball is cracked and the warranty on it has expired. Please post the output of commands via cli as root;
Code:
#dmesg |grep eth #check what is recognized
#ifconfig -a #get device info
#iwconfig #unsure what you connect with
#route -n #get route table
#uname -a #kernel ?
#lsmod #modules loaded
Pardon pulling up an old thread, but this just happened to me, so I'll post my own version of the requested info in hope of shedding some light (please :E).
In summary -- Also using a dual-boot machine. All is well networkwise in Windows, but as of today suddenly I have no access in Suse 10.0 (not even to the router). Network adapter is an Intel Pro/100 VE. I am not aware of any recent updates or configuration changes (though in response to the problem I have tried reconfiguring the card using YaST and editing resolv.conf manually. No harm done, but no progress).
I get the following errors at bootup:
Code:
eth0 interface could not be set up
setting up service network failed
And here are the requested outputs.
dmesg:
Code:
e100: eth0: e100_probe: addr 0xfeafc000, irq 10, MAC addr xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx
e100: eth0: e100_watchdog: link up, 100Mbps, full-duplex
eth0: no IPv6 routers present
