Starting over, Internet connectivity

[rodh]

OK, I gave it my best and now I will try to Start Fresh, I re-installed (clean) and now this is what shows up in "ifconfig", "route",

Re: Starting over, Internet connectivity

So what problem are you having?

[rodh]

Re: Starting over, Internet connectivity

No connection, Base address dead, not sure if it is hardware or software

[Princey]

Re: Starting over, Internet connectivity

Type the following two commands separately in konsole:

ping 192.168.0.1

and

ping [url]www.yahoo.com[/url]

Which one gives you any failed or error messages?

[rodh]

Re: Starting over, Internet connectivity


ping 192.168.0.1 returns unknown host

ping www.yahoo.com returns unknown host

seems like the eth0 not connected, If I look in Knetmanager it says no adapter installed When I go to manual config it says its up and running and when I go through dev manager it says it pings good?

Re: Starting over, Internet connectivity

your eth0 is up but i think your gateway is misconfigured. i dont see the default router ....

in command line use " ip route". i have something like:
################################################
10.212.149.0/24 dev eth0 proto kernel scope link src 10.212.149.28
default via 10.212.149.254 dev eth0 <<-- here you should have "192.168.0.1"
default via 10.212.149.254 dev eth0 metric 100 <<-- here you should have "192.168.0.1"
################################################

Supposing that you have a router with ip 192.168.0.1 and subnet mask is 255.255.255.0. follow those steps:

dont use knetwork manager. Use "Network conenctions" -> "Administrator mode" -> eth0 -> "configure interface".
What do you se there?
DHCP or is manual configuration?

If its manual be sure you set advanced settings and insert your gateway ( 192.168.0.1 ). If you are using dhcp ( mean that your router works as dhcp server. you should do nothing)

Re: Starting over, Internet connectivity

Sorry about that. The first was my mistake. Your router's IP address is the gateway and that should be 19.168.1.0 from the screenshot you gave. As ghillian suggested, change the numbers but instead of 192.168.0.1 put in 192.168.1.0

If that doesn't work, then there's another method I'll suggest but that's only if it doesn't work which involves editing your network interface file.

By the way, do use DHCP or a static ip? (DHCP is where the router assigns you a dynamic ip address. Static Ip's doesn't change).

Re: Starting over, Internet connectivity

Well tried both Static and DHCP, but I did not reboot between them.

Re: Starting over, Internet connectivity

I'm currently at work and we use Windows at work. However, you'd have to reboot or restart the network daemon when you make any change to it. So, you'd notice no real change unless either was performed. I'll make a more detailed post when I get home.

Re: Starting over, Internet connectivity

Thanks, I have tried both ways and booted between not just restart. I still don't get to any of the pages that I try.

Euh - no. This is: resolver not working. Means - your DNS Server is not reachable. What is your "router"'s IP ? Ping it and check for it's availability.

Then - check the file /etc/resolv.conf - it should have a line starting with "nameserver <IP_Address>"
Ping the ip-address for testing. If you can't reach it - make sure the NAmeserver get's corrected, or the admin gives you access to it - e.g. open port udp 53 for your system.

Folks - the network-address of a /24 (e.g. 255.255.255.0 - Class C Network) Network is always xxx.xxx.xxx.0 - so this address won't work anyway if not used as network address...

Or eventually - it will make strange things ...

Do you think that a new PCI Ethernet card would fix anything?

Re: Starting over, Internet connectivity

how to open udp port 53 in XP?

Sorry for the late replay - I was offline some days now ...

Well - open the file with: cat /etc/resolv.conf
You'll see what's in there and can check if a Nameserver is entered.
