Internet Problems
Okay before i moved into my new apartment i had DSL through the phone company and wireless set up on my suse 10 box working flawlessly through ndiswrapper. We switched over to the cable companies internet service provider. I didnt change any of my settings on the router and it pulled the new IP fine. I decided there was no need for me to connect wirelessly anymore being i have easy access to the router so i figured it would be easier to configure everything anyways.
Well i plugged in and configured my ethernet card for the first time and just disabled my wifi card and pywireless. I pulled everything through DCHP and the router detected and gave me the ip (192.36.253.70). Now i usually let the router give me a IP then i manually go in and set it to static so i can guarentee i dont have any problems. I finished configuring and went to try out the access and everything just hung on looking up host...lah blah yahoo.com. Now i think one of my problems but im not to sure is my Dns's in the hostname configuration in Yast is configured as followed. DNS 1: 192.36.253.76 (which is my router) Dns 2: 69.blah.2.5 (thats not the actual ip but its the adelphia dns) Dns 3: Followed by the other adelphis DNS. Im pretty sure ipv6 is disabled because i think i had to disable it to get the wireless working. Im at work now ill post more on that when i get home. And more details. |
it sounds like either you machine doesn't know about any dns servers or it doesn't have a route to the internet.
1st lets look at routing 1st.... type "netstat -nr" you should get something like this: Code:
Destination Gateway Flags Refs Interface Pmtunote the "UG" line - this is pointing to 94.240.128.1 - you need it point to your router. if not then you can add by typing route add default gw <ip of your router> although this will stop when you reboot - i don't know suse too much sorry.... DNS do "dig www.google.com". if this goes wrong then it's likely dns is not configured properly. try "nslookup www.slackware.com" if dig isn't installed. If you are using a static IP you need to put the ip address of your DNS server(s) in /etc/resolv.conf. I would not use the ip of your router as you mention...... hope this gets you going... |
I took care of it. I double checked to make sure ipv6 was disabled and it wasnt. Then i took the router out of the DNS listing and replaced it with the DNS's my router was grabbing. It works like a charm. Thanks!!!
