CentOS 4.6 Network Card Issue

[reynoldsdesign]

Hello,

I am trying to use CentOS 4.6 to build web server at home (LAMP stack). As far as I can tell its working properly, it boots at least and i can run some root commands.

From what i have seen in various installs i need to "yum" something to get an update of some sort, however I can't get the network card to actually access the internet.

My network card is as follows:
Accton Tech SMC2-1211TX (rev 10)

when i do a: "dmesg | more" one of the last lines i get is
eth0: no IPv6 routers present

as far as i can remember i have my network set up this way (on the system)
IP 192.168.0.100
gateway: 255.255.255.0
im not sure if i need to change my dns settings on the machine (which i dont remember how i did in the first place) or whatnot.


i can give more details but i dont know the commands to show them.

any help on this would be great.

You don't have any DNS servers in your resolv.conf file.
Add your ISP's DNS server there.
