Ahmed,
If on linux try to first of all ensure that U have set the default
gateway.(only one) This should preferably be the link to the ISP(Internet
Link). Yes I know it seems simple enough, but is usually forgotten. Make
sure U check and / or set the connection details U'r self.
The command "ifconfig (ipaddress) ..." may give U some sort of success (or
confusion) but only saves the data as a running conf. On restart, however
the stored values are picked up. This means the U need to STUDY U'R LOGS and
system files (/etc/sysconfig/network, /etc/sysconfig/networking/devices/),
as linux is basically an interesting maze of text files.
Try to man ifconfig route netstat and related commands to ensure
connectivity. Always keep ping at U'r finger tips.
FRANCIS.

I'm not too sure if this would work on Linux coz i've
come across this on a Win2k system.
