oshunluvr Posted November 7, 2006 Report Share Posted November 7, 2006 My new 2007 One install won't connect to the internet. The previous 2007 install did and 2006 does no problem. So far I've only edited the ifcg-eth0 script to look like the previous install and like the 2006 install but still no internet. BTW I am able to access my home network no problem. Where do I look next? My ifcfg-eth0 DEVICE=eth0 BOOTPROTO=static IPADDR=192.168.1.100 NETMASK=255.255.255.0 NETWORK=192.168.1.0 BROADCAST=192.168.1.255 GATEWAY=192.168.1.1 ONBOOT=yes METRIC=10 MII_NOT_SUPPORTED=yes USERCTL=yes IPV6INIT=no IPV6TO4INIT=no PEERDNS=yes PEERYP=no PEERNTPD=no Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ianw1974 Posted November 7, 2006 Report Share Posted November 7, 2006 I would say, check /etc/resolv.conf for valid DNS entries, and if that has them, the next place is disabling IPV6: Edit /etc/modprobe.conf and add: alias net-pf-10 off then reboot. You might also need to do in your browser, if Firefox, type about:config in the url bar, filter for ipv6 and set it to true to disable ipv6.

About five minutes after my post I opened resolv.conf and found it blank! Duh...I added my dns servers but haven't had time to reboot (now I'm at work) but I'm 99% sure it'll work. I'll disable ipv6 next thing. BTW, the way you suggest is new to me and I've seen 3 or four other ways to do it. Is one methed better than another?

ianw1974 Posted November 8, 2006 Report Share Posted November 8, 2006 Here's my howto on disabling ipv6. As you can see lots of methods. https://mandrivausers.org/index.php?act=ST&...=22&t=35816 the thing is, I've always used the method I wrote before, and I keep doing this, even though there are other methods. It's a case of what you prefer :P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
