:D Ok, I've googled the hell out of it, searched through countless forums and nothing. Maybe I'm just tired. Maybe that last twinkie and dr. pepper did something to my brain. Whatever the case, you'll either be annoyed or find this amusing. I brokt teh interweb.

Slackware 10.1
DSL, DHCP.
But NO CLUE how to get it all started.
I stole this from the router config page...
Login Type: DHCP
Internet IP Address: 192.168.0.2
Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0
Default Gateway: 192.168.0.1
Static DNS1: 192.168.0.1
Static DNS2: 205.171.3.65
Static DNS3: 0.0.0.0
And I think I put some of that info in /etc/rc.d/rc.inetd.conf or something.
But uh, ifconfig/route are pretty much blank and ping can't even resolve a host. Maybe I'm tired and am missing something...
Anyway, I'm sure you guys have done this so many times its second nature to you, but c'mon, help'ah'newb!

Thanks in advance guys!

Resolv.conf is empty.
It just says 'search owned'
and nothing else.

you need to change

search owned

to

search owned
nameserver ***.***.***.*** <- your DNS servers address.

OK your isp is using dhcp, dhcp should set the resolv.conf file for you, so you need to start your dhcp client to get an ip.
Try:
/sbin/dhclient eth0
or:
/sbin/dhcpd eth0

How to get slackware to do that for you, I don't know, I'm not a slacker...
(I always wanted to use that line) Hope it helps....

I refrain from locking the thread for now because disdain is a first poster. However, in the future I will, so please read our posting guidelines first.

why not reconfigure your network with pkgtool ? ( Choose slackware scripts to run again)

1. what is the output of /sbin/ifconfig

2. Did you setup DHCP when you installed slackware

3. what is in /etc/rc.d/rc.inet1.conf
