Cant connect to the net
 

hey guys,

i have debian 3.1r0a runnig, and the network is configured as below:

debian:~# ifconfig

Please don't double post. This makes it difficult for everyone including you to follow the thread.

Re: Cant connect to the net
 

the outcome of "ifconfig" shows that at that moment you were not connected to the internet, b'coz its showing entries for "eth0" and "lo" only....
what type of internet connection are you using........???
is that windows machine on your local network.........???

im using ADSL connection... and the windowz is in the LOCAL network

hello,
you can ping to your windows mahine b'coz its on your local network.....it has nothing to do with your internet connection.
Sorry i can't help you out with ADSL connetion....b'coz i myself works with dial-up connetion.
One thing is clear that you haven't conneted to internet yet through your debian machine......so check out how to configure it.

do some search work to get information about "how to connect to internet using ADSL"
regards

thanks .....
