coLinux - How to test Internet Connection?

[arkar]

Hi,
I'm just a very noob at Linux who with a few linux knowledge and just know a few commands. I've successfully setup "coLinux" on my "Win XP". But i'm not even sure if my coLinux is connected to the "Internet". But for sure:
- i can't do any "apt-get"
- i can ping to my "host o/s (XP)"

So does my coLinux is getting Internet or not?? If not, how to do?

I used following options for daemon configuration:
eth0=slirp
eth1=tuntap



Here is my ~# ifconfig

eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:ff:e2:75:40:00
inet addr:10.0.2.15 Bcast:10.0.2.255 Mask:255.255.255.0
inet6 addr: fe80::2ff:e2ff:fe75:4000/64 Scope:Link

lo Link encap:Local Loopback

TX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0
collisions:0 txqueuelen:0
RX bytes:0 (0.0 B) TX bytes:0 (0.0 B)

As i said i'm just a noob with Linux, please guide me.

For additional info, here are my connection setting on my host o/s (Win XP) getting internet:

Not specific to colinux, but in general, you want to have
- an IP address
- the correct netmask
- the correct gateway (default route)
ifconfig shows you that you have an IP 10.0.2.15 (255.255.255.0 netmask)

netstat -rn

will show you the routing: look for the line that has 0.0.0.0 in the first column.

Whatever IP that line has as the gateway must be configured to route/forward packets to and from its internet uplink.

I don't know much about windows but here are some things to look at/try:

1. See if your windows interface is running in Bridge mode. If it isn't then maybe you need to set this up.

2. Try to change the ip address on the linux side to something in the 192.168.0.* like your windows box is.

One way to test for connectivity is to ping from a terminal.
Open terminal window, type:

ping -c 5 www.google.com

and

ping -c 5 8.8.8.8

ping doesn't work with my ISP, in our country (Myanmar).
Thats why i'm asking how to test Internet Connection Availability.

How about doing a traceroute? Is that permitted by your provider?

traceroute www.google.com

traceroute 8.8.8.8
