Thanx for the help, but i have a prob again!
Netconfig works, but it asks me doman and I entered my IP, but why didnt it asked DNS? So i set up only gateway, IP, mask and domain(my IP) but it dosnt work!! can you please help me?

[dboyer]

dns is in /etc/resolv.conf

just add a like "nameserver X.X.X.X"

[Yosuke_]

HEEEEELP!!!!
About that DNS!!!
when i open /etc/resolv.conf theres only one line of text:
Searching xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx (xxx is my IP)
what is wrong?

[dboyer]

looks misconfigured

remove that line, and put "nameserver X.X.X.X", that points to a dns server

[Yosuke_]

ok, but do i need to set up nameserver only in that file?

[serz]

Yes.

[Yosuke_]

but how can i set more than one DNS ??? I have 2 DNS in windows!! sorry for my supidity!;)

Just add the other one in the file as well. Most ISP's have atlease two DNS nameservers.


/etc/resolv.conf

nameserver xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
nameserver xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx


HTH
