Hi!
I subscribed to Road Runner (cable using DHCP) two weeks ago and am still
not able to use it...
I got rid of my first problem (making eth0 work) thanks to two Linux
angels, Michael and Greg, that I thank again.
Now here is what's happening:
* Eth0 seems to work like a charm (IRQ and IO are specified for eth0, the
boot says "OK" after "Configuring the Eth0 interface" and so on)
* DHCPCD has been configured, and also seems to work. Indeed, when I type
"dhcpcd" it says "already running".
* When I use the command "ifconfig", I have a nice inet adress for eth0.
* The "online" led of the cable modem they provided is flashing on and off.
BUT
* When I open netscape and type "www.linux.org" or any other adress it
answers "unable to locate the server bla bla bla".
I did not configure myself DHCPCD or any connection, I let Mandrake do it:
In Netconf, I simply used the "Basic Host Information" tab, enabling DHCP.
I didn't touch the other tabs as I do not understand that Networking stuff.
I guess there is something to do, and I am pretty sure it is something very
simple, but I don't know what...
[My computer features a Pentium 733, 128 RAM, Tyan Trinity 400 motherboard.
Good stuff.]
I thank the Linux angels who will save my computer life again!
