connecting to the internet

[adrenaline]

There are a couple of anomilies I have ran into to try.
first sometimes the gateway doesn't get written.
goto /etc/rc.d/
pico rc.inet1.conf

#at the bottom there is a Gateway = " "
if it says
Gateway = " "
change it to
Gateway ="<whatever you gateway is"
exp
Gateway = "192.168.1.1" #keep quotes

save then reboot.

Second issue sometimes you have internet and don't know it because you DNS didn't get written

to check this go to /etc/
pico resolv.conf #spelling is correct

This file only needs two things nameserver and the IP
example

nameserver 192.168.1.13
nameserver 192.168.1.14 # whatever your real dns is. Might need to get from your ISP or look in your router under DNS

These are things to check good luck

type ifconfig after you run thru the dhcp settings in netconfig and post it.

@adrenianle, at the bootom it says DHCP_HOSTNAME= instead of gateway.

@genesus took one of the cards out and reconfigured. still no good......
@carlosponti, won't put all of it cause kinda long but
LInux encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:60:08:92:92:59 inet addr:192.168.2.16 Bcast:192.168.2.255 Mask: 255.255.255.0
