    NIC card not confugured properly

    Just installed 10.2 in a dual boot with Windoze. That's another problem...see post below.

    I access the internet thru my NIC card. Got the IP address and subnet from my Windoze to configure the card. Typed in the numbers correctly, but no joy.

    Any ideas for a GREEEEEN Noob.

    Thanks.

    what happens when you try to ping a site? Also how is your internet setup e.g. ADSL/Cable/Wireless through a router?

    My total LINUX experience is about an hour now--

    I did stumble on this trying to get my wireless card to work...

    Under System or Utilities aplications-- open "network tools"

    Click the "ping" tab.

    now enter any web address eg. google.com-- I believe you can ping your router by entering its IP address.

    click ping

    Open up a terminal, type this:
    Code:
    ping -c 4 www.google.com
    the -c 4 parts tells system to send 4 packets.

    What do you get when you type the following in Console:
    Code:
    ip a s
    &
    Code:
    netstat -rn
