'Details are *IMPORTANT*.
You didn't provide any -- and, unfortunately, my crystal ball is on the
fritz this week.
>From what you did describe, this could be a DNS problem, a driver/hardware
mismatch, unsupported hardware, defective hardware, or even an unplugged
cable.
Information only _you_ can provide:
1) _exactly_ what kind of network card is in your T110 ?
2) exactly *what* does the boot message say about what kind of network
interfaces, if any, were found?
3) what does "not accepting" mean?
4) what does 'ifconfig -a' show?
5) what does 'netstat -nr' show?
6) can you 'ping' anywhere? say 129.105.5.104?
7) what does 'traceroute -n {anywhere} ' show?
