Thanks for the reply.

Please keep in mind that I am totally lost at this point.

I went to yast2/Network Devices/DSL/DSL Configuration Overview/Providers/Connection Parameters

This shows that the DSL connection is configured as dsl0

In the Connection Parameters window nothing is checked.

I assume your router (which you never mentioned having in your first post) is handling all of the DSL connection.... So you don't want to set the laptop up for DSL. *IF* your laptop is connected to the router, all you should have to do is to get YAST to configure your eth0 on the laptop to use DHCP, and that's the only setting. 1) The laptop gets an IP address from the router using DHCP 2) The router provides a DNS address for the connection. 3) The router does all of the masq'ing for the www. 4) You live happily ever after.

In the IP Address Settings window I have the IP of the machine in both teh local and remote IP address boxes. (these are the same settings on another linux machine that is able to reach out to the www (although it's running v9.0)).

Am I in the correct place? Have I selected the correct options? ?????

Again, thanks in advance.

can ping all of the other machines on the LAN as well as the router.

However, when I attempt to access the www I get an 'Network is unreachable' messaage.

What have I failed to do?

Set up the DNS entries, set the default route.

Thanks to everyone who replied. I solved the problem by comparing the laptop settings to the desktop linux machine that was connected to the web. All is now working. On Wed, 20 Apr 2005 09:14:51 -0500 "Joe Morris (NTM)" wrote:

No need to admit that, it is obvious. ;-)

No need, since you are not directly connected to the dsl.

Delete this.

Is your gateway server running DHCP? if not, fill in the info for your network card, i.e. IP, subnet mask, gateway, and DNS servers. If you just upgraded, I'm surprised this is not working after the upgrade if it was working before. -- Joe Morris New Tribes Mission Email Address: Joe_Morris@ntm.org Registered Linux user 231871
