network but no Internet?

ErikHK · 06-13-2005, 04:06 PM

I have dualboot on my computer, Debian and Windows XP, on Windows Internet works perfectly, but on Debian, only local works, I can ping the router and all peers connected to it, what could be the problem?
EDIT: did a apt-get install pump, then:
# pump
and it worked!

sounds like you did not get a default gateway somehow. to test, i would reboot, and when you come back up, verify your ip

ifconfig

then, verify your default gateway.

route -n

route -n should give 3 lines of output for a single interface machine with no other ipsec connections, etc. mine looks like this:

Code:

[root@demeter ~]# route -n
Kernel IP routing table
Destination     Gateway         Genmask         Flags Metric Ref    Use Iface
192.168.125.0   0.0.0.0         255.255.255.0   U     0      0        0 eth0
169.254.0.0     0.0.0.0         255.255.0.0     U     0      0        0 eth0
0.0.0.0         192.168.125.1   0.0.0.0         UG    0      0        0 eth0

...well, that was a little more than 3 lines, but there should be 3 lines of IP address info. if you only ave 2, the last line will be missing, determining that you have no default gateway.

sounds like tho, that installing the pump package might have fixed your problem.
