To be clear, you should have what Sam mentioned when you're dialed in. You currently only have the loopback iface. Basically connected to nothing. If you're using dialup, you'll need to use the same ifconfig command and look for a new ppp0 interface as well. If you get the ppp0 interface, try pinging 199.199.150.254 and let me know what you get. -mj Here's what Chester Larson babbled earlier : > This what I have: > lo Link encap:Local Loopback > inet addr:127.0.0.1 > Mask:255.0.0.0 > UP LOOPBACK RUNNING > MTU:16436 > RX packets:134 > TX packets: 134 > Does that help, Sam > > ----- Original Message ----- > From: "Samuel MacDonald" <smac at visi.com> > To: "TCLUG Mailing List" <tclug-list at mn-linux.org> > Sent: Sunday, December 21, 2003 12:51 PM > Subject: Re: [TCLUG] Help with setup > > >> go to a shell an type >> >> su root [enter] >> <rootpassword> [enter] >> ifconfig >> >> We need to know... >> is eth0 defined? no >> do you have an ip address"no >> do you have a subnet mask?no >> do you have a default gateway?no >> >> Sam. >> >> >> >> Michael Jentges wrote: >> >> >Hi Chester... >> > >> >IIRC, this was an issue at an installfest once.
