pmpatrick Posted October 24, 2005 Report Share Posted October 24, 2005 To determnine your gateway, just run: # route Eg. Here's my output which is pretty vanilla for a router/ethernet system using a broadband modem: # route Kernel IP routing table Destination Gateway Genmask Flags Metric Ref Use Iface 192.168.1.0 * 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 0 eth0 127.0.0.0 * 255.0.0.0 U 0 0 0 lo default 192.168.1.1 0.0.0.0 UG 0 0 0 eth0 Your network configuration is in /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts. You will see config files for each network interface. The one for eth0 is ifcfg-eth0. A generic one for dhcp setup would look like this: DEVICE=eth0 BOOTPROTO=dhcp NETMASK=255.255.255.0 ONBOOT=yes METRIC=10 DNS is configured through /etc/resolv.conf. And the module/driver for your network card is loaded through /etc/modprobe.conf. For reasons unknown to me, DSL seems to have more issues with DNS. If you can ping outside numeric ips but can't resolve urls, it's probably a DNS issue. The ip for mandrivausers.org is 83.245.15.165. Try pinging that number and see what you get.

Leo Posted October 24, 2005 Author Report Share Posted October 24, 2005 HURRAH!!! Thank you all for your help. I got pissed off (patience is not a virtue of I posess) and decided to get rid of all network connections and reset the modem/router to it's factory settings. I then started from scratch, reenterd all information into the modem and set resolv.conf etc. I restarted the network and it all worked. Thank you once again to everyone who helped.
