Getting Online

Tens · 8 Mar 2006 at 11:40

First thing i am trying to do is to get online after installing.
I got network here with 3 windows pc's. A single wire comes up from the router to a hub, the hub splits in 3 to my windows pc, my linux pc and my bros pc when hes here which he isnt at the moment.
We all have unique IPs on the network. default gateway is 10.0.0.100 and then we have selected a last digit.
DHCP is turned off as we all know our network IP. In short we use NAT here.

Any steps i need to take to get my linux rig online as i am wanting to view pages whilst i use it, then setting up samba and ldap authentication later using it as a server to syncronise with my windows rig.

Help me get it online, i have set it up giving it a network IP and putting in subnet mask and default gateway through yast but it isnt working.

Can you open a terminal and try to ping one of the other PCs or your router?

If you're using ubuntu, you would need to put your IP's DNS lookup in /etc/resolv.conf.

Then, you need to lock it:

Code:

sudo chattr +i /etc/resolv.conf

I'm no use on other distros though

Hi

add your default gateway address to your /etc/resolv.conf file or add it in as a dns server in yast.

cheers

Remember to lock it using chattr +i, or it will be overwritten with the gateway again.
