teh_sAbEr Posted July 24, 2004 Report Share Posted July 24, 2004 greetings. im having some trouble with the Internet in Mandrake 10.0 (download edition) and would appreciate any help offered. you see, when i start up mozilla, i can connect to the net fine and everything , but some sites i cant access, even though im able to get to them in windows on the same machine. it just sits there with "resolving host www.(name of site here).com" on the status bar, and then returns an alert that says the host cant be found. the only few sites ive been able to access so far are: Google Animewallpapers.com The Daily Tribune (local newspaper here..) any suggestions? im running MDK 10, GNOME, dual boot on two seperate drives, MDK 10 on one and Win98 on the other, Cable Modem is a Motorola SURFboard SB3100, Eth Card is a Via VT6102 Rhine II onboard lan. I have my IP addresses statically configured, since DHCP didn't really work. thanks in advance Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
devries Posted July 24, 2004 Report Share Posted July 24, 2004 Have you tried adding a nameserver in your /etc/resolv.conf (nameserver 193.67.79.39)? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pmpatrick Posted July 25, 2004 Report Share Posted July 25, 2004 Try adding this line to /etc/modprobe.conf: alias net-pf-10 off Reboot for the new settings to take effect. The above line turns off IPV6 which has caused a lot of people problems with the 2.6 kernels.Try adding this line to /etc/modprobe.conf: alias net-pf-10 off Reboot for the new settings to take effect.

teh_sAbEr Posted July 26, 2004 Author Report Share Posted July 26, 2004 nope, sorry, didn't work. im still not able to get to sites like www.nvidia.com even though i know its up. heres a list of things ive already tried 1. editing /etc/resolv.conf, placing the IP of my ISP's website there (i dont know their nameserver IP) , both after the "search" and "nameserver" things. 2. adding "alias net-pf-10 off" in /etc/modprobe.conf. it did help with some speed issues, but some sites are still inaccesible 3. turning on my LAN cards onboard Boot ROM. i suppose it causes mandrake to re-detect my LAN card, and thus, set it up again.. 4. installing mandrake 10 again. so far, i can get online, but i cant get to some sites that i can get to in windows. thx for the assistance though.

tyme Posted July 26, 2004 Report Share Posted July 26, 2004 /etc/resolv.conf should not contain the IP of your ISPs website. It should contain your ISP's Nameservers/DNS servers. You can get this info from windows by opening up an ms-dos prompt and running: ipconfig /all look for "DNS Servers" and place them in your /etc/resolv.conf in the following manner: nameserver first_DNS_IP nameserver second_DNS_IP etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tyme Posted July 26, 2004 Report Share Posted July 26, 2004 you want your ISP's domain in there, for me I have: search earthlink.net (although I have sprint DSL, but earthlink is the provider somehow...) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
