pinging yahoo.com won't work if you don't have DNS set up properly.
Have you told Mozilla your settings? (edit-preferences) do you have a small network? can you ping yourself by name and number? titanium_geek |

and chose the option Automatically obtain IP address setting with dhcp so the ethernet device is configured with Automatically obtain DNS information from provider and the device is active however I can not ping even my address In Mozilla I have "direct connection to the internet" ifconfig says: [root@localhost root]# ifconfig eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:0B:DB:95:23:5A inet addr:192.168.2.150 Bcast:192.168.2.255 Mask:255.255.255.0 UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 RX packets:6007 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:80 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:100 RX bytes:523716 (511.4 Kb) TX bytes:5402 (5.2 Kb) Interrupt:10 Base address:0x4000 Memory:e0204000-e0205080 lo Link encap:Local Loopback inet addr:127.0.0.1 Mask:255.0.0.0 UP LOOPBACK RUNNING MTU:16436 Metric:1 RX packets:4493 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:4493 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:0 RX bytes:307953 (300.7 Kb) TX bytes:307953 (300.7 Kb) |
can u ping anything by IP? Can you ping any computers on your LAN by IP, if you have any.
If not how are you using a network card to connect to the net with a cable connection? Don't you need a cable modem for that? |

with my connection I'm required to have 100Mbit network card cat5 cable and set the option 'obtain an IP address automatically' under windows it works fine but under linux although my card is active I can not ping any IP address |
if its any help I have a Dell too and redhat does not fully support the broadcom integrated ethernet cards. I tried downloading newer drivers but dont bother, it will only crash red hat. After all redhat is kinda old, try switching to fedora if you like rehat, I know fedora worked fine with my dell.

the installation was OK! card is active. But I don't understand why I can not establish Internet connection |
