redhat network working but no internet thru router
 

Ok so i been here for a bit asking questions about suse network problems but i couldnt fix it so i migrated to redhat (im imoressed with it), ive even followed simple tutorials thru this forum to get my network setup! i have had a bit of experience with networks before but i just cant seem to get connected to anything!

ok so i got this setup

adsl
|
modem/router

~~~
| |
pc1 pc2



ok so pc1 is my dual boot linux redhat win2k box with wireless ethernet card and ethernet card connected to router! no probs under win2k

pc2 is just a native win2k box (no booing and hissing please...lol)

so all the windows stuff is fine but i just cant get nothing under redhat

i have tried automatic setup with dhcp like the router prefers but this just gives linux greif eth0 just will not start up

so i set it static even included gateway address of router and primary and secondary dns address but nothing but eth0 is active, yet i still cant ping anything! i just get host unreachable yet when i check pc2's firewall log it says it had a tcp/ip ping from my linux box's address yet if i turn off firewall on pc2 i still get host unreachable, would that be becuase its going thru router??

so what is going on you think redhat network config is saying eth0 is active and in mozilla the icon at bottom right says online?? plus i cant even access the built in remote access of router! i've even added my ip for pc1 remotley from pc2 into the allowed ip address and set it so you can ping router and access it thru http??

it must be something simple but i just cant see what it is!!!

thanks in advance!

Outputs
 

well some outputs maybe helpful here, like
`ifconfig eth0 `
`cat /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0`
`lsmod`
`route -n`
`iptables -L`

that will be a nice start

ok thanks for your response .sorry i didnt post before i just got a bit sick of rebooting into windows and i cant find windows dir. in redhat ?? oh well least of my problems at minute (like no 3d enabled) all comes in time tho lol


well here are the things that give a bit more info

its odd that the ethernet module doesnt seem loaded is this my main problem?
and is it odd that my tcp stuff is under target "reject" or is that because my sis900 ethernet module isnt loaded???
well like i said i aint no expert im just on the very bottom rung of the ladder of linux knowledge thats why i asking for you guys to help!!
thanks in advance
robin :jawa:

run this command to clear the iptables rules
`iptables -F`
then provide us with the output when you are trying to ping

ok so thanks again ! well i cleared ip tables but i changed ip of eth0 too it just seemed a good idea as router was .1 , so i went to .4 as my two windows machine are .2 and .3

well still no joy i tried pinging other win2k box but no joy i even ensured firewall was switched off briefly while i did it still 'host unreachable'

here is an update on system stuff again see if i buggered it

well lsmod is showing module for sis 900 is up now???

but now i got i_filter and ip_tables in lsmod?

still no internet i even plugged into slot 2 on router/modem?

is normal for the iptables module to be running and it looks like your card is fine,
just changed the settings in the /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0 to
something a bit more simple like this

GATEWAY=192.168.1.1
TYPE=Ethernet
DEVICE=eth0
BOOTPROTO=none
NETMASK=255.255.255.0
onBOOT=yes
IPADDR=192.168.1.4
NETWORK=192.168.1.0
BROADCAST=192.168.1.255

and then just restart the network with `/etc/init.d/network restart`

and then just show us what you get when you try to ping

thank you for your input i really aprreciate your help ! will do that to config file and get back to you ! thanks again
