Sorry,
I did not include the 'ifconfig' readout.
It was copied by hand onto notepad and again into M$ Outlook so
human error might be expected. The upside is that, as I understand it,
it points to only one error.

Adam,
you really have to get back to basics.
forget linuxconf, its not needed.
please tell us the output of these commands and we can get the details
of
exactly what is wrong.
cat /etc/resolv.conf
cat /etc/network/interfaces
ifconfig
if your resolv.conf looks like what you typed below then DNS is broken.
take out the search parameter for now, just have two lines that read
nameserver x.x.x.x and nameserver x.x.x.x
I have never needed to touch /etc/networks - i think it is either
redundant
or built from /etc/network/interfaces
hope that helps,
dave

Subject: [SLUG] Problems configuring woody for cable
Hi,
I'm running Woody testing/unstable in a dual boot-system and
have recently had 512Bd cable installed. The XP drive is fine but I
can't
seem to get it going with Woody.
I apt-get installed linuxconf via ppp, read through the help
files as suggested, and added in all known values for DNS Servers, IP
(Static), Gateway, and SubNet mask. I did not see anywhere to include
network settings for pop3 or smtp (presumably to go in ./muttrc and
Mozilla).
I keep getting the message "Can't find package 'pythonmod' "
although via
'apt-get update',
'apt-get upgrade' and
'apt-get -u dist-upgrade || apt-get -f install'
I found that 'pythonmod' had indeed been installed.
'netconf -status' gives me
'module pythonmod does not exist'
? Service samba is not running
Executing: /etc/rc2.d/S20samba start'
My /etc/resolv.conf is
'search paradise.net.nz
nameserver 203.96.152.4
203.96.152.12'
my /etc/networks is
"localnet 192.168.1.0
eth0_netmask 255.255.255.0"
which confuses me - where did that DNS come from ?
my IP is 203.79.110.81
Similarly my /etc/hosts had (last time I looked) three different
designations for my system (Tux):
127.0.0.1 Localhost
192.168.1.1 Tux
203.79.110.81 Tux loghost
. I presume these have been calculated by Linuxconf.
I received the linuxconf message
"forwarding of IP traffic is not active in the kernel"
and trying an apt-get update still gives me
"something wicked happened resolving 'mirror.aarnet.edu.au:http'
Sorry for the confusion - any solutions ?
