gts2 : 30/11/02 04:56 AM : Incident created -   I am on a Linksys router, with the following info setup: Gateway: 192.168.1.1 Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0 IP (static routing) 192.168.1.100 This info works fine on Windows on the same box, however with Mandrake it can't access anything out of the network. I am able to ping other boxes on the network, as well as access the router setup pages... however outside the network is getting nothing. I did some searching and saw a Mandrake 8.1 III glitch where "under certain conditions" removing the "GATEWAY" line from /etc/sysconfig/network would fix this problem. I tried it, but still found myself internetless on Linux. Thanks in advance for help.
Linegod_7611 : 30/11/02 05:05 PM : Reply received -   Two things to check. First, your '/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0' should look like this: DEVICE=eth0 BOOTPROTO=static IPADDR=192.168.1.100 NETMASK=255.255.255.0 NETWORK=192.168.1.0 BROADCAST=192.168.1.255 ONBOOT=yes and your '/etc/sysconfig/network' should look like this: NETWORKING=yes HOSTNAME=whatever.yourdomain.ca DOMAINNAME=yourdomain.ca GATEWAY=192.168.1.1 GATEWAYDEV=eth0 FORWARD_IPV4=false If you edit them, do '/etc/rc.d/init.d/network restart' Secondly, confirm that it is not a DNS problem. Do: # ping 192.168.1.100 (CTRL-C to stop ping) # ping 192.168.1.1 # ping 63.209.80.23 # ping www.mandrake.com First ping confirms stack, second confirms connection, third confirms external connectivity, fourth confirms DNS lookup. ------- Note: If this answer resolves your problem, please remember to close this incident.
