For example, the IP address of my router is 192.168.1.1 so I added
the following line to resolv.conf:

Code:

nameserver 192.168.1.1

on top of the editable file or is there a specific place to put that?

If you can open Konsole/Terminal and type 'su' to get root's permission. Type your root password then. Once you've become root
type:
vim /etc/resolv.conf

and add your router's entry.

Alternatively, you might be better off installing wicd which will provide a GUI interface to your network configuration.

but how do i do that with no internet? Thats why i cant try installing slackbuilds cuz i dont have internet and thats why i have to use a dual boot of ubuntu. Thanks for all the help. I will give this a try.

1. Download the wicd package from your second system
2. copy the file on to slackware
3. Boot into slackware, opent the terminal and become root
4. Navigate to the directory where you saved the wicd... package.
5. Type installpkg wicd*
6. Type 'wicd' (still being root)
7. Type 'exit' to exit the root account.
8. Type 'wicd-client'
9. The wicd icon should appear in the panel.

Have we not established that the problem is failure to get a DHCP lease? So no amount of tweaking DNS settings or installing wicked network configuration tools is going to fix it. We know the network is OK because it works for ubuntu. How about we find out what the network configuration is on ubuntu and configure Slackware the same way?

@Rockstar420: please post the output of these commands on ubuntu

Code:

cat /etc/network/interfaces
cat /etc/resolv.conf
ifconfig

tried those commands and says no command exists or something along that lines of its not there. And yes i have checked the ip settings on ubuntu and it goes like this
ipv4:192.168.1.101
netmask:255.255.255.0

is there a way i could get those numbers into SlackWare config for INTERNET so i can connect and get slacking

Must make a note the first time i installed slackware on this machine network worked seamlessly then i moved to kubuntu cuz i couldn't get the software installed but i dislike kubuntu because of it is too much like a grandma helping on everything you do when your younger but i want to do something hard like slackware

This is really not good enough. Can you paste your commands and the errors you get?

markush · 11-21-2010, 01:18 PM

Well, if you have a router you're possibly using DHCP and should get an IP-adress automatically. Please execute

Code:

dhcpcd eth0

and post the output here.

Tried this on Ubuntu for fun and got this>
The program 'dhcpcd' is currently not installed. You can install it by typing:
sudo apt-get install dhcpcd

I am going to try it on slackware

markush · 11-21-2010, 01:29 PM

But with Slackware dhcpcd is installed (provided you did a full install). dhcpcd is the DHCP-client service, this service gets the IP-configuration from the DHCP server (which in most cases is your router).

Looking at the output you provided, you might want to try it with eth1.

I did mention this in my first post to you which you appear to have ignored or missed.

markush · 11-21-2010, 01:43 PM

but in the 10th post of this thread there was eth0 with Slackware the interface with the APIPA-adress.
I suggest to at first look at the output of ifconfig and then trying dhcpcd with the apropriate interface.
