Ran into a issue i installed slackware on my pc and before i had internet (last time) But i have run networkconfig and nothing has changed. If anybody could help that would be awesome. Is there something i can do different from when i install.

Are we talking about a wired type of connection? Do you use a router?
What's the output of /sbin/lspci?
Static IP or DHCP?

dhcp wired connection have no idea on the /sbin/lspci?

going to reinstall slackware right now will be back on here if internet runs or i will have to flip in a live cd

I'm sure you don't have to reinstall Slackware to get the internet up and running?

what about the output of the command: /sbin/ifconfig?
Are you connected to a router?

I am dual booting ubuntu and slackware so with ubuntu i still have internet until slackware gets figured out. I looked in info and shows my ip address and mack on etho1 but cant dbl click on it to open it further so i dunno. i will look at the file quick will reply when i get a copy of it

Are you connected to a router?

Yes i use a router. here is what i have coppied from the ifcfg text file>

I think you misunderstood sycamorex. Open a terminal and type /sbin/ifconfig and then hit enter. Then post the output of that command.

Brian

here is what i got out of terminal

It looks like you are online. Perhaps you have a DNS problem. Try "ping 74.125.19.147" (this is a google server).

No, he's not. This

is an invalid ip address that dhcp{cd,client} sets after a timeout or something like that.


Rockstar420, how do you connect to your internet server? Through a router or directly through the modem?

The address 169.254.108.187 looks like an APIPA address - a self assigned address generated from dhcpcd when a dhcp server is not found. Check the output of :
to see that your network port hasn't changed. This should show all network ports - maybe you now have eth1 ?

Also, make sure you've got the relevant entry in /etc/resolv.conf
For example, the IP address of my router is 192.168.1.1 so I added
the following line to resolv.conf:

I connect threw my router and directly to the internet via dsl modem
