eth0 connects to router but not to Internet(e.g. Google.com)
Hello,
I have been trying to get any sort of networking to run for the past 3 weeks trying every tutorial and how to on the web and these forums to no success. I am trying to get the ethernet to work on my netbook. I am running backtrack 4, not ubuntu, but since backtrack is completely based off of ubuntu now i thought you guys could help I have set up a connection to the router, but that is as far as i get. I can connect to 192.168.1.1 and change the configurations on my router, but when I try google or anything else, i am not connected. Suprisingly I was looking at my ifconfig and i noticed that my eth0 has both ipv4 and ipv6,
I love you, ha sorry for that just had to get it out!!!!!
It works! thank you sooooooooo mch!!!!
I swear to god, i just fell out of my chair. I love you!
WOW sucess thanks to REPO!!!
Well i think it actualy might be a little easier then that. In iwconfig, i already have wlan0 so isnt there just some code like the ethernet to type in to get it working now? or do i have to do all of the blacklisting?
Who ever you are i now idolize you. It worked and my network showed up. Tried to connect and it says required encryption enabled. How would i go about enabling it.
How did you learn all of this? You are very skilled, have you written a guide to linux? WOuld you consider writing one for me? haa.
Click on the network you want to connect to.
Then click on properties.
Use encryption, choose the encryption you setup on the access point or wireless router, and give the key
I am now completely on line, what took me 21 days took you an hour. Thank you so much, I was serious about the tutorial though, where did you learn or do you teach, Once again thank you for everything.
