No internet
 
newbie here,


rc.inet1.conf:

Code:
# Config information for eth0:
IPADDR[0]=""
NETMASK[0]=""
USE_DHCP[0]="yes"
DHCP_HOSTNAME[0]=""

# Default gateway IP address:
GATEWAY=""
I went through netconfig twice, but still no connection. When I go into KDE and open a browser its not connected.

any advice?

Can you add a gateway and retry? That worked for someone awhile back with the same problem. Depending on how your router is configured, it should be something like 192.168.0.1 or 192.168.1.1.

Bruce Hill 08-14-2008 01:05 AM
Tell us about your setup.

Can you ping your router? Google?

What is the output of:
Code:
cat /etc/resolv.conf
route -n

I'd try wicd. Really, I dunno if it is just me but I've had terrible luck trying to get internet on my laptop.
http://rlworkman.net/pkgs/
it's down there somewhere. It's just a simple program, works well.

For a wired network connection, wicd is terrible overkill. Wicd stands for "WIreless Connection Daemon" - it is great if you have wireless and move around a lot. But it robs you of the ability to change your network setup in a console. You need to run X and start the graphical wicd-client to manage your network connections. Which sucks IMO. Even though the developers are now writing a console client for wicd, I experienced that the use of Python for the tool requires you to have a reasonable beefy computer or else wicd will be slow as mud.

How do I set a gateway? I don't know what address to put. I have a Intel Classic motherboard with on board Ethernet. When I run: cat /etc/resolv.conf, It just says "search" and my domain.
When I run "route -n" it says:

Code:
Destination  Gateway  Genmask    Flags Metric Ref  Use Iface
127.0.0.0    0.0.0.0  255.0.0.0  U    0      0      0 lo
also my router is secured I usually have to put in a security key for the first time I use the internet on that computer

Alien Bob 08-14-2008 03:56 PM
Looks like no driver was loaded for your network interface at all... I see no "eth0" in the 'route' output.
You may want to post the results of these commands (save the text to a USB stick if it is too much to type and transfer it to a computer with Internet connection):
Code:
ifconfig -a
Code:
lspci -v
Code:
lsmod
So that we can determine what network card you have in there.

This doesn't look right at all, there should be at least some modules loaded, maybe you need to update the module list, maybe try as root

Code:
depmod -a
Then restart the machine and see if it reloads and the modules properly, hopefully then you will load the module for the network card

nope, didn't do anything. lsmod still looks the same

What version of Slackware and which kernel are you running?

Give the output of "cat /etc/slackware-version" and "uname -a"
and "cat /etc/lilo.conf" and "ls -l /boot/"

In Linux a module is what Windows calls a driver -- same thing.

Alien Bob 08-15-2008 01:42 AM
I think you forgot to install the kernel-modules package... look for that on the /slackware/a directory of your Slackware DVD. Pick the one whose version matches the version of the kernel you are running.

Eric

andrw123 08-15-2008 03:33 PM
Got it! the file for the modules on the dvd were corrupt. So I downloaded them from a slackware repository, put them on a usb drive, and installed them.

Thanks everyone.
