Internet connection

roadrunner_1 — Thu, 17 Oct 2002 00:50:29 GMT

I have an old HP workstation 712/60 at home connected to a wireless router with built 4 port hub. This in turn is connected to my broad band modem. I have 2 PCs and this workstation on this LAN.
Though my PCs can access internet, my workstation cannot.

What changes do I have to make on my workstation to access internet. I need this to allow my workstation to send out emails..iam learning a few stuff at home...

Please help!!!

Can your workstation ping the router? the PC's?

What is your default gateway?

netstat -rn

cat /etc/rc.config.d/netconf | grep -v -e "^#" -e "^$"

router IP

On your PC's do this in a DOS window:

netstat -rn

ipconfig

of course post the results here :-)

a quick test:

nslookup forums.itrc.hp.com

of course you need to set up your /etc/resolv.conf file, like I did:

domain bigpool.net
nameserver 24.93.1.119

which your PC can tell you:

ipconfig /all

When you changed the route_count=1 did you reboot?

If you did, what was the error message on the

nslookup forums.itrc.hp.com

??

You set up this static IP in your router, right?

Can the PC ping the server and the server ping the PC ??

Re: Internet connection

roadrunner_1 — Thu, 17 Oct 2002 02:27:35 GMT

Yes it can because I can telnet from my PCs to this workstation

Re: Internet connection

harry d brown jr — Thu, 17 Oct 2002 02:35:44 GMT

in /etc/resolv.conf change the domain to something other than you have it set to today, use what I did bigpool.net.

Can you ping the router??

What are the configurations on the router??

Is it just me that thinks it's awfully ironic that Roadrunner is having I-net connection trouble =~)
