Getting internet to work. [Slackware 9.1]
 

I'm using Slackware 9.1 (KDE) and when I installed it I chose "no modem" since my router wasn't working as it should but now everything's fixed and I can't figure out how to get internet running from Slackware. I've looked in Control Panel but probably missed something.
I have Realtek RTL8139/810X Family PCI Fast Ethernet NIC.

I went into netconfig.

HOSTNAME: hostname
DOMAIN NAME: domain.net
Now, when I get to DHCP I don't know what to put there so I just hit enter.
But I still can't get into internet. Do I have to type something in the DHCP-thing? If so, how do I find out what?
I also tried with static IP and not changing the numbers that were already there. Just hit enter a couple of times.
That didn't work either.

I already made a thread about this (http://www.linuxquestions.org/questi...hreadid=112595) but it dropped to second page and I thought I'd make a new one with more information in the first post.

It's against the etiquette of this site to start a redundant thread, especially when there have been responses in your original thread.

In the future, you should probably put Slackware-related questions under the Slackware subforum in distros; I see your original thread received posts from non-Slackware users, which can confuse matters since Slackware's configuration differs from Red Hat, Mandrake, SuSE, Debian, etc.

I'll post to your original thread with some advice.

Ok, sorry then. Just thought I'd make it a little easier for people to help me out so they wouldn't have to read through the entire thread.
Also, I didn't know if there was any difference between Slackware or any other distro when it comes to getting connected to internet through a router, I only put it there to give as much information as possible.
