Hi, As a thumbrule, for internet connection on Linux/Unix, there are 3 places that needs to be checked: 1. /etc/nsswitch.conf --- hosts: files dns <- (Make sure you have "dns" here) 2. /etc/resolv.conf (as jlevie mentioned) ---- nameserver 3. default gateway setting (you can see that using the command netstat -rn) if you don't have a default gateway, then type route add default gw In your case the router's LAN IP will be 192.168.0.1 Usually, the 2nd and 3rd will be assigned by DHCP (if you use DHCP to get ip address). So first check /etc/nsswitch.conf and then add the default route using the command mentioned above. This will do the trick Regards, George Joseph --------------------------------------------------- PLUG-discuss mailing list - PLUG-discuss@lists.plug.phoenix.az.us To subscribe, unsubscribe, or to change you mail settings: http://lists.PLUG.phoenix.az.us/mailman/listinfo/plug-discuss
