YaAqoB Posted December 8, 2004 Report Share Posted December 8, 2004 Hello, I'm using Mandrake 10.1ce and am trying to connect to the Net via a network. I have gone to configure network and selected "Lan" connection etc. It comes up saying my LAN and internet is configured. Only problem is that its not connecting to the Internet. My network card is plugged into a router. Another PC (Windows) is also plugged into this router and is getting the net fine. If i go to monitor connections and then click on "Connect Lan" it says that I can't connect to the net and I have to check my configuration. I have tried for flippin hours now and am getting ready to throw my PC through the nearest window. My network card is a NForce2 onboard one thats been detected fine.

devries Posted December 8, 2004 Report Share Posted December 8, 2004 What have you tried? Are you using DHCP or a static adress? Wireless or cable? Have you tried configuring the connection by hand? And make sure your firewall is stopped. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoulSe Posted December 8, 2004 Report Share Posted December 8, 2004 Also show us results of a trace-route so we can see if you're making it the router. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dustpuppy Posted December 8, 2004 Report Share Posted December 8, 2004 Kill your firewall and then try logging onto the router. Make sure it has the latest firmware installed - what type is it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YaAqoB Posted December 12, 2004 Author Report Share Posted December 12, 2004 Ok, I have tried to connect to 3 different networks. \ I am plugging my network card directly into a hub that has the internet. I have mate on the same network that connects fine. I have tried to do every thing exactly the same as him but still no internet. It comes up on boot about not being able to configure an IP. Also my network status weither disconnected or connected has disappeared out of my task bar. Does anyone know how to get it back there? Whats the commands I type to display onformation that will help people help me? THanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

THanks <{POST_SNAPBACK}> In Konsole, type: net_applet this will bring back your system try icon Once you close konsole, it will disappear - so before you do so, right click onm the icon and set it to start on boot up. That is, I'm presuming you are running 10.1? Are your cables made up properly - I spent an age and wasted so many RJ45 jacks, but if they are not perfect, they will not work at all. Is your box talking to the router/hub at all (green lights on the card/router) Are you following the steps as advised in manufacturers handbook? List in sequence the steps you are making and any errors thast are being reported. Edited December 12, 2004 by ChrisM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
