Do your clients have a default gateway in their routing tables? If not, you'll need to make sure the DHCP server provides that information because it's not currently. Can you resolve yahoo from a shell? Try 'ping -c 1 yahoo.com' . If it prints an IP address, then your DNS is working OK. If you get a response, then your external routing is also working. There's no point in trying a browser etc until you know your basic connectivity is working. Note that those tests _must_ be run in a shell on the client, not the server via remote X. Either ssh in to the client or set the client to start a shell as well as X. -- Craig Ringer ------------------------------------------------------- SF.Net email is sponsored by Shop4tech.com-Lowest price on Blank Media 100pk Sonic DVD-R 4x for only $29 -100pk Sonic DVD+R for only $33 Save 50% off Retail on Ink & Toner - Free Shipping and Free Gift. http://www.shop4tech.com/z/Inkjet_Cartridges/9_108_r285 _____________________________________________________________________ Ltsp-discuss mailing list.
