Now I have my LAN working, but am unable to get to the internet. DrakConnect doesn't accept any input. In fact it seems to hang on testing the lan connection.
So I'm still stuck. Hardware is fine since the LAN works, the router isn't blocking the machine's access since it works fine under mdk 9.2 or WinXP. Do I need to enter my router's local IP address as a gateway? How? If not what else is there to try.
TIA

However, I am still not able to get networking to function. The machine connects is connected through a router (192.168.0.1) and I can't ping the router with DHCP. Ping returns "Network Unreachable". The same machine worked fine with mdk9.2 and with WinXP.
Can anyone help?
TIA

Paul; Check to see if Shorewall or Iptables are running on the laptop. Disable both and reboot. Doing so, will clear the rules and policies which are currently loaded.
