    help setting up internet

    66082.1

    hi all,

    I'm trying to configure my mandrake 10.0 distro to connect to the internet. I'm using a ethernet connection from a university lan.Here is my ipconfig /all output from windows with some info modified.

    Windows IP Configuration

    Host Name . . . . . . . . . . . . : hostName

    Primary Dns Suffix . . . . . . . : suffix
    Node Type . . . . . . . . . . . . : Unknown
    IP Routing Enabled. . . . . . . . : No
    WINS Proxy Enabled. . . . . . . . : No
    DNS Suffix Search List. . . . . . : more suffix addresses

    Ethernet adapter Local Area Connection 2:

    Connection-specific DNS Suffix . : tcd.ie
    Description . . . . . . . . . . . : Intel(R) PRO/100+ Managem

    Physical Address. . . . . . . . . : mac add

    Dhcp Enabled. . . . . . . . . . . : Yes
    Autoconfiguration Enabled . . . . : Yes
    IP Address. . . . . . . . . . . . : my assigned ip
    Subnet Mask . . . . . . . . . . . : 255.255.0.0
    Default Gateway . . . . . . . . . : 134.226.125.2
    DHCP Server . . . . . . . . . . . : 134.226.1.114
    DNS Servers . . . . . . . . . . . : 134.226.1.114
    134.226.1.24
    134.226.1.28
    134.226.81.11

    I entered some of this info with drakconnect, gnome gui to configure eth card, but do not know what to enter for ZeroConfig hostname ( don't know what this is about, short explanation would be appreciated ). I then tried to ping my assigned ip addr, which worked, but could not ping my default gateway.

    I appreciate this topic has been covered loads but I am a newbie and any help would be recieved gladly. The ethernet card i will use is eth1. How would one do this manually ie from the command line?

    Thanks,

    James
