Fedora 6 Network Problems

Ok, in a terminal do;

su -
gedit /etc/resolv.conf

Then type in exactly this (just the one line, no need for anything else);

Code:

nameserver 192.168.0.1

Save the file and close gedit - ta da! (That was assuming your router's IP was 192.168.0.1)

You should then be able to access the internet, and from a terminal do something like;

ping www.google.com

which will resolve the fqdn.

Or instead of using you gateway as the DNS server (which should work fine), change it to the IP address of your ISPs DNS server (which is what it is going to anyways).

Open the resolv.conf file and it already has:

nameserver 192.168.0.1

The problem is not DNS, since he can't ping 83.223.98.170 and if it was a problem with name resolution he still should be able to.

Can you paste the output from route.

He still hasn't copied his ifconfig... Highlighting and right clicking is the same way in Windows...

But are *** interfaces set to be configured by DHCP

gedit /etc/rc.conf

Code:

lo="lo 127.0.0.1"
eth0="dhcp"
INTERFACES=(lo eth0)

should look somethign like that.
