Hi I hope they have not made any changes to the internet connection?? First, have a look what "ifconfig" command says.. It should say at least 2 interface, "lo" is the loopback, then if You have ethernet, it should say something like "eth0 ...". Here is my output from it: (short-form of it) ----- eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:10:A7:08:61:49 inet addr:192.168.1.20 Bcast:192.168.1.255 Mask:255.255.255.0 inet6 addr: fe80::210:a7ff:fe08:6149/10 Scope:Link lo Link encap:Local Loopback inet addr:127.0.0.1 Mask:255.0.0.0 ----- So this shows that I have eth0 up and running... If You don't have that, then the network driver is not loaded... zast2 is able to detect most ethernet cards automatically... If it is loaded, then check "route" command, that You have default route up and running.. here is mine again: ------ Destination Gateway Genmask Flags Metric Ref Use Iface 192.168.1.0 * 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 0 eth0 default hepe 0.0.0.0 UG 0 0 0 eth0 ------ Here we learn, that default-route is to go thru a gateway (hepe), so all my queries to net goest to that box, if it does not go to network 192.168.1.0/255, which is my local network here. (hepe equals 192.168.1.1 in my setup) I would think that You have same kind of setup. Routing is set up usually automatically, but can be controlled with /etc/route.conf Next thing is to check if DNS is working.. You can check it with command "nslookup www.yahoo.com". It should give many IP-addresses.. If not, the the nameserver setup is wrong, and can be configured with zast. Without more information I can't really help You more... Jaska. Viestissä Maanantai 5.

I run S.u.S.E. 7.2, KDE and Ximian Gnome. I have had no trouble connecting with the Internet through my employer's network until recently. Then, while I got through with no sweat through OS/2 (which I am using now to send this note), I could not get through with Linux!
What do I look for to see what went wrong? How do I fix it?
Thanks for your time,
