not going online
With the great help of MasterC, I finally reached the promised land of the Linux environment. I wantd to get updates as prompted but i'm not getting an internet connection. The eth0 connection is enabled, and i have it set to static ip (as per the router settings), any time i bring up a webpage it says the page can't be found (soon as i enter it). AFter I made the changes I rebooted back into linux with no success.
Is there something I'm overlooking? edit: I'm sorry, I should at least tell what kind of nic i have. It's onboard/integrated, 3com 3C920 Integrated Fast Ethernet controller (3C905C-TX compatible) -- this is listed in device manager windows Thanx pcdebb |
well, if eth0 is enabled... show us the output of "ifconfig" and "route -n". And tell us what you are using to connect to the internet. And try a "dig google.com" and write the ouput here.

Code:
search wolf Code:
nameserver 192.168.1.34 |
those look like internal ips, are you behind a router? i know my gateway is 192.168.0.1, so my nameserver is my computer?
is "wolf" the name of the computer i need to search? (of course I would not search wolf) thanx |
Your right 192 is usually a local ip.
I'm behind a router and Mines search nameserver 62.30.0.xxx nameserver 195.188.53.xxx I've blanked off the end cuz their my ISP DNS. You'll need the ones from your ISP. |
ok cool. I will switch over now and see what I can make happen. (my end goal is to post from linux, verifying success)
thanx alot for your help so far. This forum is very very helpful to me :-) |
