I have a fresh install of Mandrak 10.1 (free) on my Shuttle SN41G2. I am experiencing some difficulties with the internet. I am able to connect to a few select sites like nvidia.com; however I am unable to connect to sites such as google.com and hotmail.com. When attempting to load these pages I get a Server Timeout error on port 80. I am configured to connect to the internet through an ethernet cable connected to my Router/DSL modem via the "LAN" configuration setting. The "LAN" setting is the only one that produces and results. I would like to get full access to the internet. Any suggestions?
Sorry I don't have ICQ (lost my password 5 years ago and am stubborn about it).
In Windows, I did NOT have to provide a user name/password. I set up my internet connection settings through a browser connection (192.168.0.1). So in Windows and my Mac there is little that needs to be configured to get the internet working.
I had similar problems with Mandrake 10.1 and Fedora Core 3 and my DSL-based Internet connection when I shifted from Mandrake 9.2 until I disabled IPv6. Run /sbin/ifconfig. If you entries in the output for IPv6 (they will be lines beginning with "inet6 addr"), you might try disabling IPv6 temporarily to see if that solves your network access problems. To disable IPv6, switch to root, and add the following line to the end of /etc/modprobe.conf:
alias net-pf-10 off
Then reboot and test your Internet access. If it doesn't fix the problem, just remove that line from /etc/modprobe.conf and reboot and nothing will be impacted.
I will be curious to see if this fixes your problem. I spent almost two weeks trying (with help on a couple of these forums) trying to track down this problem before a kind soul pointed me at this.
I'm glad it worked for you! I can't take credit for anything, however, other than passing along the wisdom of other people here on these forums that know /way/ more than I ever will...
