Tell us what distribution and version of linux you are running.

When you run the network configuration tool select DHCP and enter the router's IP address for the gateway.

Well, I am using Slackware and when I choose the DHCP server then I can only
choose the name for the Hostname, and when have choosen the hostname.. Then the the
setup 'overview' comes up.. And the IP add. and all that stuff stands on Use DCHP server

can anyone please help me? Because.. I need help, I NEED INTERNET..!

Hi

I don't know the Slackware tools at all, try reading
man ifconfig

use ifconfig to configure your device

iIFCONFIG(8) Linux Programmer's Manual IFCONFIG(8)



NAME
ifconfig - configure a network interface

SYNOPSIS
ifconfig [interface]
ifconfig interface [aftype] options | address ...


You will then need to add a route to your gateway to the WWW, look at man route.

Good luck

Some stupid questions:
1) Can you ping 192.168.1.1?
2) Have you've confirmed that your router is set up as a DHCP server?
3) Have you restarted or else run the inet scripts in /etc/rc.d (rc.inet1 and rc.inet2)?

Yes, I have my ruter on DHCP... And yes again, I have manage to ping 192.168.1.1
So I don't know what the he<k is the problem.. But I am going to try the man ifconfig or what you typed.. Are you going to type "man ifconfig"? Anyway.. I hope I wil manage to fix this.. I really need the internet.. It's the part of me...

try to not put dhcp..

run network configuration and put this there:
Ip add= 192.168.1.3
netmask= 255.255.255.0
gateway add= 192.168.1.1
dns= just type anything

accept the settings and exit
then type in the command line:

adsl-setup

and configure everything with the information you already know, such as eth0, your login, your password...

at a time you'll be asked to type your DNS server address..
type "server"

and see the instructions after that..
