NIC Config
Hi Guys,
n00b here, just wondering if you can help me out with my NIC config. I have done a fresh install of Debian 3.0 r2 and it failed to pick up my NIC during installation. I was able to set it up using a third party module (with alot of help) but it cant seea nything. I can see stuff on my LAN but not outside. I cant pint stuff like www.google.com like in windows so how do I tell if its getting a connection? Anytime I do apt-get it gives me a 404. Any help on this would be really appreciated guys, in a tight spot here. Dave |
have you specified a gateway? if yes then have you specified a nameserver? check /etc/resolv.conf for a nameserver, if there isn't one add one and try again.

if you are using a static ip address check in the file /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0 and see if this line is there
GATEWAY=192.168.0.1 the 192.168.0.1 address should be set to the address of your gateway, usually your routers ip address. if the line isn't there then add it and do a /etc/init.d/network restart if the gateway is already set correctly or if you set it and it still doesnt work then take a look at the file /etc/resolv.conf and see if a nameserver is specified the line would look something like this nameserver 63.240.76.4 if its not there add it and see if you can ping yahoo.com. NOTE:you will need to be root to edit these files. |
