internet problem
 

Got a problem with the internet just installed slackware 10.2 but the only thing i can ping is local loopback 127.0.0.1 my network card isn't broken and when i look with ifconfig -a eth0 is up, what must i do?

do you have a static or dhcp internet address, or are you using dsl ?
what do you get from ifconfig ?

Got a cable modem with DHCP ifconfig returns

eth0 link encap:ethernet hwaddr 00:02...etc
up broadcast multicast mtu:1500 metric:1
rx packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0
tx packets:8 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0
collisions:0 txqueuelen:1000
rx bytes:0 (0.0b) tx bytes:4720 (4.6kb)
interrupt:11 base address:0xb000

thats etho and it displays LO but that is loopback and that works fine

have you tried running dhcpcd eth0?

just did that only now my eth0 isn't up

ah it worked :p ... sorry thx for the help

Anytime
took me awhile to figure it out.

The CLI really becomes your best friend after awhile
