Well, do you get a connection to your ISP? Can you view any website with Netscape. Can you ping any sites and get a return on them? Is your box configured to use the correct IP addresses for your ISP's DNS? What errors do you get - specifically.

I have a question now about the internet, Linux and my cable modem. I am not having any luck connecting to the internet via Linux. I've tried some of the suggestions in the list (via the archives) but no luck still. Any ideas?? Thanks! Mohammed __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
