I just installed MDK 8.0. All went well but I can't get any web pages up. I can ping ip addresses outside my network but I can't bring up web pages. I try to ping www.google.com (http://www.google.com) but I get nothing. Pinging 4.3.218.205 is no problem.
Was there something that I forgot on the install. I did a custom install. I've had many installs but never had this problem.

edit a file called /etc/resolv.conf and add your DNS servers like this:

search yourdomain.com
server 111.222.333.444
server 555.666.777.888

This is what I'm looking at and trying to get to work. I've got "Nameserver" rather than "server" though - does it matter?

I forgot to mention the most important part. I use a Linksys DSL router. I can configure the router via it's ip address (192.168.1.1) and I can ping outside the network. But no web pages or irc etc :(

sorry, it's nameserver instead of server... wasn't thinking clearly or just didn't catch myself there. :-(

Verify you have setup /etc/resolv.conf correctly and if you have @home, verify the computer name and perhaps your cableco domain is setup in the routers configuration.

ok, but it works under Windowz and I never had this problem till I upgraded to MDK 8.0 :(

ok, this is what it looks like now:

# search localdomain
search localdomain

nameserver 192.168.1.1


# ppp temp entry

192.168.1.1 is the ip for my router. I tried changing search to pacbell.net but that wont work :(
