Hi All I installed Netscape 6.0 on Suse 6.4, (I am Thinking of upgrading 6.4 to the next version (7.3?), but that is not the problem) this went on Internet ok, then I installed Opera, It starts like a rocket compared to Netscape, which it understandable due to the smaller file size But Now Both Netscape 6. and Opera 5 will not got on Internet, I can not recall the words,(could be "unable to go on the network") But has anybody got a check list, of things to check to get onto Internet?

I don't know what could have caused this... we need _way_ more information to be able to solve this: what program do you use to connect to the Internet (e.g. kinternet, wvdial, etc.). What user are you (root or otherwise)? Dialup or broadboard? Are you sure it's a problem with your configuration and not just that the ISP is down? -- noodlez: Karol Pietrzak PGP KeyID: 0x3A1446A0
can you ping an ip address? how are you connected, via modem or ethernet (cable or dsl or some other broadband thing). things to look for default route? nameservers? what is in /etc/resolv.conf? this is where you list your dns server search order? what does the output of route -n show? what does ifconfig show?
