resolv.conf is completely blank and I get a connection error to the Mozilla IP...*shrugs* I assume that means that the broadcast isn't working, and thats possibly because IPv4 isn't working? My ifconfig output is identical to yours, except the entire line involving ipv4 is not there (and specifics). And /proc/sys/net/ipv4 is filled with files. I'm trying to restart and see if maybe I accidently disabled ipv4 while jacking with ifconfig. What is the command for disabling a service and restarting it? (e.g. IPv4?) Restarting didn't help either. Blake On Dec 15, 2003, at 8:56 PM, Sid Boyce wrote:

I've tried everything I could to get my cable modem setup, but have failed. It should be incredibly simple. I set it up to get the host name and name servers from the ISP, as well as the IP address ( using DHCP). When I run ifconfig, it gives me an IPv6 address, and shows upon subsequent calls that there are both RX and TX packets being sent, with no errors or dropped packets. So I would assume everything is working fine. Then I go into Konquerer and try to go to www.google.com and it gives me the Unknown host error. Comparing the settings to my Mac box there is nothing I need to enter, since it pulls the router IP, my IP, and the name servers etc from the DHCP server. So I have no clue why its not working. I'm sure its something simple, so please give me some suggestions! Blake

First look at /etc/resolv.conf to see if it has the DNS servers listed. You can also try "http://207.126.111.202" for mozilla.org, just to see if it's a resolution problem. I'm surprised there is no IPV4 output from iconfig. Is there anything in /proc/sys/net/ipv4? # ifconfig eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:40:95:30:DB:5B inet addr:192.168.10.1 Bcast:192.168.10.255 Mask:255.255.255.0 inet6 addr: fe80::240:95ff:fe30:db5b/64 Scope:Link UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 RX packets:790891 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:938708 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:1000 RX bytes:273126851 (260.4 Mb) TX bytes:786536680 (750.0 Mb) Interrupt:11 Base address:0x2000

Hope this helps. Regards Sid.

You may have to rm /var/run/dhcpcd-eth0.pid first, then issue just "dhcpcd -i eth0", then check with ifconfig, /etc/resolv.conf for contents and the stuff in /var/lib/dhcpcd, "route -n" to see if it has setup the default gateway. Kernel IP routing table Destination Gateway Genmask Flags Metric Ref Use Iface 192.168.10.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 0 eth0 0.0.0.0 192.168.10.101 0.0.0.0 UG 0 0 0 eth0 ===== Check /var/lib/dhcpcd/dhcpcd-eth0.info to see if you were granted a lease, also check the date. It also looks as if dhcpcd is using the -R option which would stop it altering /etc/resolv.conf, though you say it's setup to alter resolv.conf. Regards Sid. -- Sid Boyce ....

I unistalled dhcpcd and installed dhclient instead, to see if that would help. How do I set it so I know it'll use the resolv.conf file?
