Re: [newbie] network card detected....can't use internet
Hi -- I got the same message from Netscape about the $SOCKS variable. It left me stymied, and I don't like being stymied. I had to keep swapping back and forth to/from Windoze in order to get my e-mails (sigh!). CAVEAT: I am a first-time install of Linux, not an upgrade; if your /etc/resolv.conf file is already in place (and intact!), please ignore the following. I found my answer on a Netscape newsgroup, in the form of the /etc/resolv.conf file. Mine looks like this: domain centex.net search centex.net nameserver 208.6.232.10 nameserver 208.6.232.12 (modify the names dot-addresses to fit your ISP, of course!...) and, suddenly, Netscape was able to find the internet. I am still grateful. HTH. Cheers! --Paddock --
[newbie] network card detected....can't use internet
I have a AMD ethernet card(model 79c970) that has been detected under linux mandrake 7.1 But i still have had no luck getting on the internet at all. I've set up settings copying from windows for dns, host name, ip, subnet mask, and gateway. all with no luck. When i try to use netscape, for example, i get two errors. 1. Netscape is unable to locate the server "." 2. Perhaps you have a probelem with your name server. You will need to set the $SOCKS_NS environment variable to point at the appropriate name server. If any one could help me with this i would be greatly appreciative. Thanks Craig Zutavern
Re: [newbie] network card detected....can't use internet
How did you configure your interface? Linuxconf? DrakConf? Kppp? Netscape is complaining because you have a DNS resolution problem. This can either be because you have you DNS configured incorrectly, or your network is configured incorrectly. Got to terminal, and type: ping 206.132.41.202 [enter] if you get the following, it is only a DNS problem: 64 bytes from 206.132.41.202: icmp_seq=0 ttl=235 time=85.5 ms Hit CTRL-C to stop the packet flow. If you do not get a response, or your get the message "Network is unreachable" we have some work to do. Let me know how it goes. --Greg - Original Message - From: "Craig Zutavern" [EMAIL PROTECTED] I have a AMD ethernet card(model 79c970) that has been detected under linux mandrake 7.1 But i still have had no luck getting on the internet at all.
